Eva Anton

Eva Anton, PhD is a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. Her research focuses on mechanisms governing cerebral cortex development, including radial glial progenitor function, neuronal migration, and neurogenesis. Key areas include how disruptions in these processes contribute to disorders like autism, schizophrenia, and cortical malformations.

Her work integrates molecular, cellular, and systems approaches to study neuronal placement, connectivity formation, and the roles of primary cilia in brain development. She leads the Anton Lab, with funding supporting studies on neurodevelopmental disorder mechanisms.

Recent publications emphasize primary cilia's role in cortical architecture and microglial development regulated by radial glial signaling. Her research bridges basic science and clinical insights into neurological conditions.
