Tsaousis Lab: Unraveling Microbial Eukaryotes and Their Ecological Impact
Our research focuses on understanding the adaptations of microbial eukaryotic organisms, exploring their evolution, diversity, and parasitic pathways. Embracing a One Health approach, we investigate the complex interactions between these microbes, their hosts, and the environment. By integrating this holistic perspective, we aim to uncover the broader implications of these organisms on human, animal, and environmental health.
To achieve our goals, we combine detailed bioinformatics analyses of newly generated genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic data with fieldwork, cell biology, and biochemical methods. This comprehensive approach allows us to study both parasitic and free-living microbial eukaryotes thriving in diverse and extreme environments.
