Anna Aalto

Anna Aalto is a Researcher at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering within the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Åbo Akademi University. She is affiliated with the InFLAMES Flagship (Innovation Ecosystem based on the Immune System), focusing on health solutions. Her research emphasizes innate immunity, molecular signaling pathways, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Key research interests include:

• Ubiquitin signaling mechanisms in immune responses
• Proteasome dysfunction and laminopathies
• Neurodevelopmental disorders like Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome
• Inflammation regulation in sterile conditions
• Genetic mutations impacting cellular proteostasis

Recent publications (2022–2024) highlight studies on Drosophila innate immunity, NF-κB pathway modulation, and structural-functional interactions in neurodevelopmental disorders. Her work frequently employs model organisms and patient cell systems.

Collaborations span international teams studying laminopathies, HSF2-CBP interactions, and immunology. No awards were explicitly mentioned in the text.
