MSACL Presenter Biography

Anna Fuezery
Johns Hopkins University

Anna Fuzery received her B.Sc. in chemistry from University of Toronto and her Ph.D. in biochemistry from University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her graduate work focused on deciphering the mechanism of biological iron-sulfur cluster assembly using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and other biophysical techniques. After completing her Ph.D., Anna spent one year as a postdoctoral research associate at Oxford University. Here she used structural techniques to investigate how the proteins talin and kindlin induce integrin activation and thereby cause cells to adhere tightly to the extracellular matrix. Currently she is a second year clinical chemistry fellow in the Department of Pathology at Johns Hopkins University. Her clinical and research interests include point-of-care testing, laboratory quality assurance, and LC-MS(/MS) method development for small molecules.
