Dr. Evangelos Karousis, short biography
Dr. Evangelos Karousis is a Group Leader at the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Bern. He obtained his PhD at the University of Athens, Greece, studying a human endoribonuclease, and ever since, he has not lost my enthusiasm for mRNA metabolism, keeping an open eye on many diverse research fields such as virology and systems biology. Evan's postdoc position in the group of Oliver Mühlemann brought him closer to mRNA translation and shaped the current direction of his research, which focuses on mRNA translation in health and disease. Teaching has been a passion of Evangelos since a very early age and turned him into a devoted lecturer. Supporting the growth of young researchers is the most rewarding aspect of his professional life.
Evangelos has published a number of research articles, including the following selected publications:
