Prof. Panos Ntziachristos took over the task of running the NEXT_LEVEL project at Ghent University.
Prof. Ntziachristos is a CRIG group leader, works at Department of Biomolecular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Ghent University. His research program comprises related inquiries regarding post-translational and epigenetic aspects of leukemia biology and how they control drug resistance.
More recently, he has focused on deubiquitination and the effect of the process on large biochemical complexes, such as the splicing machinery.
