Katerina Zoi, PhD
DEPUTY SUPERVISING SCIENTIST
Dr. Zoi studied Biology at the University of Athens and obtained her PhD in molecular genetics in Leukemia from the School of Medicine of the same University. She moved to BRFAA Haematology Research Laboratory in 2003. She has been working on the development of molecular assays used in diagnosis and in monitoring haematologic patients’ response to treatment, which lead in the establishment of Molecular Diagnostics Service on Haematologic Malignancies at BRFAA. Her research is related to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of myeloid neoplasias. The focus recently has been shifted on whole exome, whole genome and RNA sequencing to identify novel mutations implicated not only in disease pathogenesis but contribute in disease evolution as well. She has participated in many collaborating activities and her work has been published in several peer-reviewed journals.
