About Evan

I have a lifelong enthusiasm for biology (ranging from whales to tiny biomolecules) that has led me to become a devoted lecturer in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a biology teacher with exciting discoveries along the way. 

I obtained my PhD at the University of Athens, Greece, studying a human endoribonuclease, and ever since, I have not lost my enthusiasm for mRNA metabolism, keeping an open eye on many diverse research fields such as virology and systems biology. My postdoc experience in the group of Oliver Mühlemann brought me closer to mRNA translation and virology and allowed me to share my research and teaching passion with large audiences. 

I was born and raised in Piraeus, Greece and hold a double (Greek and Swiss) citizenship. In addition to my passion for biology, I completed my studies as a classically trained pianist, and I am an avid fan of Mylène Farmer and Iceland.
