Anne Spang (born 29 November 1967 in Wadern)[1] is a German Biochemist/Cell Biologist and Professor at the Biozentrum University of Basel, Switzerland.

From 1999 to 2006 she was an Independent Research Group Leader at the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory of the Max Planck Society in Tübingen.

[2] Since 2005 Anne Spang has held the position of Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at the Biozentrum University of Basel.

In the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, she has identified the evolutionary conserved SAND-1 protein, which serves as the switch in Rab conversion during the maturation process.

[5] Her research findings are significant for the understanding of many diseases which are based on the location of defects in protein and mRNA in the cell, such as cystic fibrosis and lysosomal storage disorders.
