Anne Andrews

Professor Anne Andrews holds joint appointments in Chemistry & Biochemistry and Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences at UCLA. She leads research in neurochemical sensing, developing implantable biosensors for real-time neurotransmitter monitoring. Her innovations include aptamer-based field-effect transistors for serotonin/dopamine detection and wearable cortisol trackers.

Her laboratory advances flexible electronics for neurological applications, combining nanotechnology with machine learning to optimize neurochemical detection. Recent work establishes serotonin's role in stress response circuitry and examines pharmacological interventions during pregnancy.

Honors include NSF's PECASE Award and fellowships in biomedical engineering. She currently advises six doctoral candidates and maintains NIH-funded projects on molecular sensing platforms and neuropharmacology.
