    Linkedin Profile

Anne is the CSO at Xona Microfluidics and pioneered the creation of microfluidic compartmentalized platforms (ex the “X4 XonaChip”) that allow separation of cell types (eg. nerves and muscle) with microchannels between them so that communication from axonal innervation can be easily interrogated. Using these proprietary platforms, her team can provide contract research services, with special focus on using murine (rat and mouse) or human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) derived neurons. Anne’s team of neuroscientists have exceptional experience designing and conducting research. They have published in a variety of high impact journals (Nature, Neuron, etc). Using their state-of-the-art research lab, Anne and her team can help the drug developers generate high quality neuroscience data that will propel assets towards IND and beyond. In her spare time, Anne enjoys reading good books, fine dining and exploring the countryside.
