Katerina Strati is an associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, at the University of Cyprus. She completed her PhD under the supervision of Dr. Paul Lambert at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. During her postdoc she trained as an AECC fellow in the lab of Dr. Maria Blasco at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre, Madrid. Her lab at the University of Cyprus investigates the role of viral oncogenes during cancer, differentiation, and regeneration using cellular and mouse models.
 
Details about current projects could be discussed with the lab head.
