Doctor Aikaterini Gatsiou

Newcastle University, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne (United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland)

Dr Aikaterini Gatsiou, MSc, PhD, is a RNA biologist and early career researcher of Newcastle University Biosciences Institute. She is also an elected member of the American Heart Association Council on Genomic and Precision Medicine early career committee. Dr Gatsiou completed her basic studies on molecular biology and genetics complemented by a Master degree on Immunology in Greece and pursued her postgraduate studies and training on RNA modifications in Germany before Newcastle University recruits her as a Senior Research Associate at the Faculty of Medical Sciences. Dr Gatsiou focuses on developing novel approaches and tools in order to investigate the biological significance of RNA modifications at a single-nucleotide level that underlie fundamental processes shaping the human pathophysiology and particularly the innate immune responses which drive several diseases, including cardiovascular disease.
