Annalisa Scimemi, born in Tuscany, is an Associate Professor at the State University of New York at Albany [1].
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].
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].
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].
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].
