معرفی
Anna Berghard is a Professor at the Department of Molecular Biology, Umeå University, Sweden. Her research focuses on molecular mechanisms in olfaction and sensory neuron biology, particularly retinoic acid signaling, axonal convergence, and stem cell activation in the olfactory system. She leads her research group at the Hospital area, 6K and 6L.

Research Interests: Berghard's work bridges neuroscience and molecular biology, investigating how olfactory sensory neurons maintain homeostasis, respond to sensory deprivation, and contribute to age-related metaplasia. Key areas include stimulus-regulated protein trafficking, vomeronasal system organization, and GPCR-mediated sensing. Her studies often employ mouse models and molecular techniques.
Publications: Berghard's recent work (2020-2023) explores retinoic acid catabolism, synaptic inhibition in the accessory olfactory bulb, and ciliary transduction protein dynamics. Earlier publications (2003-2013) address Wnt signaling in eye development and Gαi2-dependent vomeronasal phenotypes.
Laboratory: She leads the Group Anna Berghard, focusing on molecular neuroscience and sensory neuron biology within Umeå University's research ecosystem.
