Ana Carreras Mascaro

Ana Carreras Mascaro is a Research Fellow at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and the Functional Genomics department. Her research focuses on the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, as well as developmental biology in zebrafish models.

Her work spans disciplines such as

• Genetics
• Molecular Biology
• Neuroscience
• Immunopathology
• Developmental Biology

with specific emphasis on lysosomal function in microglia, phosphatase activity in neurodisorders, and innate lymphoid cells in respiratory diseases.

Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding LRP10-SORL1 interactions in neurodegeneration, enzyme deficiency effects in zebrafish brain development, and genetic variants in Parkinsonism.
