Introduction[edit]
Annalisa Scimemi, born in Tuscany, is an Associate Professor at the State University of New York at Albany[1].
Early Life and Education[edit]
Annalisa Scimemi studied Biological Sciences at the University of Pisa (1993-1998) as a first generation college student[1]. Scimemi then went on to get her PhD in Biophysics, studying rhythmic circuits as they relate to locomotor-like behaviors[1]. Her thesis work focused on the biophysical properties of calcium activated potassium channels in human erythrocytes in Steiner disease[1]. Scimemi graduated in 2001 from the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA/ISAS) in Trieste, Italy where she studied the development of rhythmic circuits[1].
Career[edit]
In 2002, Dr. Scimemi traveled to the United Kingdom to join a lab at University College London[2]. At UCL, Dr. Scimemi studied synapses and neurotransmitter spillover and worked with professors Dimitri M. Kullmann, Dmitri A. Rusakov, Matthew C. Walker, and others[2].
In 2005, Dr. Scimemi moved to the United States to join the lab of Dr. Jeffrey S. Diamond at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland[3]. At NIH, she continued to study synapses, while looking more specifically at the role of neuronal glutamate transporters in hippocampal synapses[2][3].
Research[edit]
Dr. Scimemi currently studies synaptic structure and transmission, astrocytic control, synaptic transmission, and the synaptic basis of neuropsychiatric disorders using techniques such as electrophysiology, optogenetics, two-photon imaging, and reaction-diffusion computer simulations[1][4]. Dr. Scimemi's previous research has focused on how the synaptic transmission changes in the hippocampus with the circadian cycles[1]. Dr. Scimemi currently has 52 publications[5].
Achievements[edit]
Dr. Scimemi is currently serving as President and local Chapter Representative for the Hudson-Berkshire Chapter[6]. She also served as a Top Reviewer for the Journal of Neuroscience Editorial Board Committee for the Society for Neuroscience (SfN)[6].
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a grant of $1.24 million dollars for a project led by Dr. Scimemi at the University of Albany[7][8]. This project focused on using electrophysiology to understand how hormones affect the storage and formation of memories throughout the day[9]. The project was done in collaboration with the Alzheimer's Association[7].
From 2020 to 2022, the Organization For Computational Neuroscience Board appointed her to serve as part of the CNS Program Committee[10][11][12].
In 2013, she was the Chair of the Society for Neuroscience Nanosymposium on Presynaptic Dynamics[2].
In 2013, she received the Grass Imaging Award from The Grass Foundation[2].
She was selected as a speaker about Synaptic Transmission at the Gordon Research Conference in 2012[2].
In 2005, she was awarded the Young Investigator Award by the International League Against Epilepsy[2].
