Evripidis Gavathiotis
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Children's Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School, Instructor
We study the structure and function of apoptotic protein interactions that regulate life and death decisions in the cell. We aim to develop novel pharmacological
strategies and compounds to prevent protein interactions that cause cancer and cardiovascular disease and translate them into therapies.
We employ a multidisciplinary approach spanning chemistry, structural biology, biochemistry, cell biology and in vivo studies.
