Katerina Artavanis-Tsakonas

Katerina Artavanis-Tsakonas is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. Her research focuses on parasitology, therapeutics, ubiquitin, and Plasmodium. She investigates how parasites adapt mechanisms to avoid host immune responses, limit tissue damage, and modulate their environment to support their presence, particularly through interference with the host ubiquitin-proteasome system. Her work involves techniques such as biochemistry, proteomics, cell culture, and parasite transgenic methods. She is associated with the Department of Pathology and collaborates on ubiquitin biology and related research themes.
