My Experience
Background & Expertise
Group leader
2024
I will move to the University of Liverpool as an independent researcher/Tenure Track Fellow!
Postdoctoral Researcher
2018 - present
I joined the lab of Tobias Dick at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, Germany. I generated tethered genetically encoded biosensors that enable us to study redox heterogeneity.
Research Associate (Postdoc)
2015 - 2018
In Chris Grant's lab at the University of Manchester, I worked on the interplay between translational control, stress adaptation and ageing.
Education
What I’ve Learned
2011 - 2015
PhD in Cell Biology
I joined the Wellcome Trust funded PhD programme "The Dynamics of Cellular Pathways" at the University of Manchester. My thesis focused on stress responses, organelle biogenesis and homeostasis, and redox regulation.
2009 - 2011
MSc by research in Biochemistry
At the University of Oxford (Biochemistry Department and Merton College), I studied oxidative protein folding in bacteria using both structural and cell biology techniques.
2004 - 2009
Degree in Biology
I studied Biology at the University of Crete, on the elective program: Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology. My undergraduate thesis was focused on oxidative protein folding and protein import into mitochondria.
Team
We will have a PhD student position open soon!
