I was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden, where I also did my PhD work in Dr. Urban Lendahl's lab at Karolinska Institutet, studying the role of Notch signaling in cancer. Following my PhD, I carried out a postdoc with Dr. John Blenis at Weill Cornell Medicine / Harvard Medical School, where I studied how dysregulation of lysosome organisation and abundance affect cell growth. Outside of lab, I love music and to drink a beer or two from time to time.

I grew up in Greece, completing my B.Sc. in Biology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. There I discovered my passion for molecular cell biology and cancer research, which brought me to Sweden, where I obtained my Masters in Cell and Molecular Biology from Uppsala University. For my masters’ thesis, I joined the Anders Mutvei lab investigating how cancer cells reprogram their metabolism, which is also the focus of my PhD. Outside the lab I like to spend my time gardening or tinkering with various DIY projects.

I completed my master’s thesis in Anders’ lab, where I became intrigued by the complexity of lysosomes and their role in cellular regulation. I’m now continuing as a PhD student, studying how lysosomes and mTORC1 signaling influence cancer cell metabolism and growth. I enjoy combining cell biology and imaging to uncover how cells sense and respond to their environment. Outside the lab, you’ll usually find me surrounded by family, friends and animals, or immersed in some form of art project.
