About
Annie Andrieux is a leading neuroscientist whose research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of neuronal microtubule dynamics and their role in synaptic function and behavior. Her major contributions center on the STOP (Stable Tubule Only Polypeptide) family of microtubule-associated proteins, which are critical for stabilizing neuronal microtubules. In her highly cited work (33 citations), Andrieux identified and characterized STOP-like Protein 21 (SL21), a novel member of the STOP family that reveals a Golgi localization for these proteins. This discovery expanded the understanding of how microtubule stabilization is compartmentalized within neurons. Her research has profound implications for neuropsychiatric disorders, as STOP protein suppression in mice leads to severe synaptic and behavioral deficits, modeling aspects of schizophrenia. Andrieux’s work bridges fundamental cell biology with behavioral neuroscience, demonstrating how cytoskeletal regulation directly impacts neuronal connectivity and cognition. Her findings have been instrumental in establishing microtubule stability as a key factor in synaptic plasticity and mental health.
