Bre' Anna is a chemistry major at the University of Alaska Anchorage with minors in math and neuroscience. She's interested in research that surrounds neural prosthetics and neurodegeneration. She hopes to one day develop more effective and affordable prosthetics. She is currently working in a research lab studying global ischemia where she spends her time with the cerebral blood vessels of T. scripta to determine their mechanism of vasodilation. In the summer of 2021, she worked in a Quantum Optomechanics lab studying the nanofabrication of photonic crystal micromirrors at the University of Arizona. She plans on getting an MD/PhD in neuroscience and hopes to help change the world with her research while also working one-on-one in the clinic. In her free time, she enjoys reading as much as she possibly can, snowboarding in the wintertime, and swimming in the summer.
