Ioannis (Yannis) grew up in Heraklion (Crete), Greece and attended the National Technical University of Athens to study mechanical engineering. He then moved to Munich, Germany and obtained a M.S. in mechanical engineering from the Technical University of Munich. Yannis received his PhD in the lab of Roger Kamm at MIT, where he engineered an array of microfluidic devices to study the tumor microenvironment. For his postdoctoral studies Yannis joined the lab of Joan Brugge at Harvard Medical School and developed systems biology approaches to study drug resistance and tumor-fibroblast interactions. Yannis is a recipient of a 2014 Department of Defense Breast Cancer Postdoctoral Fellowship, a 2017 NCI Pathway to Independence K99/R00 award, a 2022 ACS RSG Scholar Award, a 2023 R35 NIGMS MIRA Award, a 2024 CMBE-BMES Rising Star Award and a 2024 NSF Career Award. Outside the lab, Yannis enjoys mixing music, kayaking and playing basketball. Click here for more information on his research.
