Anna Szekely, MD, is an Assistant Professor at Yale School of Medicine and a neurologist specializing in memory disorders, cognitive neurology, and clinical genetics. As a member of the Neurogenetics Program, Dr. Szekely applies her extensive knowledge of genetics in neurology to improve patient care. Her research centers on how genetic changes impact brain health and disease, particularly in investigating rare genetic disorders to uncover insights that may assist in addressing more common conditions like dementia. Utilizing stem cells as models, she aims to understand the genetic factors involved in conditions such as autism and the influences on brain development. Additionally, she examines the effects of oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) on neural stem cells and their differentiation into various brain cell types, aiming to enhance therapies for brain repair following injuries. Dr. Szekely received her medical degree from Semmelweis University in Hungary and completed her residency in adult neurology and a research fellowship in genetics at Yale School of Medicine.
