Ageliki Tsagaratou

Fostering collaboration across sectors to enhance our understanding of immune system intricacies, Dr. Ageliki Tsagaratou serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. With a profound dedication to unraveling the complexities of T-cell biology, her research delves into the epigenetic and transcriptional mechanisms that govern T-cell differentiation, function, and disease. Dr. Tsagaratou's laboratory employs cutting-edge molecular biology techniques alongside genetically modified mice to explore the pivotal roles of transcription factors and epigenetic regulators. Her work is particularly focused on how these elements influence gene expression and determine T-cell lineage fate. By dissecting these intricate processes, her research aims to pave the way for the development of more effective therapeutic strategies for T-cell-related diseases, including various forms of cancer and hematological malignancies. Her research interests are deeply rooted in understanding T-cell commitment and lineage choice, as well as the broader implications of these processes in health and disease. Dr. Tsagaratou is committed to advancing our knowledge of how T-cells can be manipulated to improve immune responses, offering potential breakthroughs in the treatment of immune-related disorders. Through her work, Dr. Tsagaratou is contributing to a growing body of knowledge that seeks to bridge the gap between basic science and clinical application. Her efforts not only aim to enhance therapeutic approaches but also to inspire a new generation of scientists in the field of genetics and immunology.
