Abstract
ABSTRACT Maria Ioannou is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of Alberta, Canada. Maria is a passionate microscopist and uses live-cell imaging and super-resolution microscopy to study lipid homeostasis in neurons and glial cells. After a PhD at McGill University, Montreal, Canada, studying the mechanisms of endocytic trafficking, she moved to the Janelia Research Campus, Ashburn, USA, for her postdoc to investigate lipid trafficking in the brain. Inspired by her findings, in 2019 she established her lab expanding on this work to better understand how and why lipids are transported from neurons to glia. We caught up with Maria over Zoom to find out more about her research, her love of microscopy and her recent return to the ice hockey arena.
