Overview

Anna Zagieboylo assists the firm’s Biotechnology Practice, utilizing her background in molecular biology, bacterial genetics, and anaerobic microbiology.

Prior to joining Wolf Greenfield, Anna conducted research in laboratories at the Yale School of Medicine, most recently focusing on the interplay between commensal microbes and their hosts, and working to uncover the specific mechanisms used by commensal bacteria to sense and respond to the intestinal environment. While working in a Harvard Medical School lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, Anna developed and carried out a high-throughput screen to identify small molecules that perturb Klebsiella pneumoniae infection in a urinary tract infection model, and helped create a library of K. pneumoniae transposon mutants to screen for genes essential to host infection.

Her undergraduate research included creating a protocol combining stable isotope labeling and mass spectrometric imaging of brain and muscle tissues to study the biochemistry of brain trauma and muscle atrophy, and elucidating protein-protein interactions between schizophrenia associated genes.
