Agnieszka Krzyzosiak is an HFSP (previously EMBO) fellow at the Medical Research Council - Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, where she investigates the mechanisms that govern the deposition of misfolding-prone proteins.  Her main interest is deposition of protein aggregates in the brain, which leads to neurodegeneration. She was awarded her PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Strasbourg and Wroclaw University of Technology in 2012.
