Evangelos Tatsis International Plant Molecular Biology Conference 2024

Evangelos Tatsis

Evangelos Tatsis received his Degree in Chemistry at University of Ioannina on 2001, Greece where he remained until 2006 to complete my PhD in Natural Products Chemistry. In 2008, he moved to Germany with a Marie Curie Fellowship to take a position as Post Doc Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Jena. Followed by a move to John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK in 2013 as Senior Post Doc Research Associate in Group of Sarah O’Connor. Since 2017, Evangelos joined as Group Leader the National Key Laboratory of Plant Molecular Genetics of Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology and he established his own group. The fundamental goal of Tatsis Lab is to determine how plants make natural products. The major focus is to elucidate, understand and engineer the metabolic pathways which are responsible for the biosynthesis of natural products from Chinese medicinal plants. To address these important goals, Tatsis Lab has an approach based on genomic resources, using phylogenomics, single-cell RNA-seq, molecular biology and enzymology techniques, with synthetic biology.
