Anna Krichevsky is a Professor of Neurology at Mass General Brigham and Harvard Medical School, and co-director of Harvard’s Initiative for RNA Medicine. She earned her Ph.D. at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and completed postdoctoral training at HMS, where she studied RNA homeostasis in brain physiology and pathology. Her notable achievements include isolating neuronal RNA granules, performing the first RNA interference in mammalian neurons, identifying brain-specific microRNAs, and discovering key regulatory RNA targets in brain tumors and neurodegenerative diseases.
