Anne E Anderson

Dr. Anne E Anderson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics-Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX. Her primary research focuses on signal transduction mechanisms in epilepsy, potassium channels, and MAPK signaling pathways. She holds multiple NIH grants including funding for studies on ion channel remodeling in epilepsy and signaling pathway dysregulation in epilepsy. Dr. Anderson has authored over 37 publications in high-impact journals such as Science, Neuron, and Neuroscience.

Her research explores molecular mechanisms underlying epilepsy pathophysiology, with a particular emphasis on potassium channel regulation, neuronal excitability, and therapeutic interventions like rapamycin. She investigates genetic models (e.g., NS-Pten knockout mice) and clinical applications of mTOR inhibitors for epilepsy treatment. Key collaborations include work on pediatric neurology and translational epilepsy research.

Dr. Anderson's work bridges basic science and clinical applications, addressing both fundamental questions about ion channel dynamics and translational efforts to improve epilepsy treatments. Her lab is affiliated with the Jan and Duncan Neurological Research Institute at BCM.
