Evi Soutoglou PhD

Evi Soutoglou obtained her PhD in the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB), Crete, Greece, in tissue regulation of gene expression. She then held the postdoctoral positions at the IGBMC in Strasbourg and at National Cancer Institute, NIH, in Bethesda USA, supported by the EMBO long term and HFSP post doctoral fellowships. During this time, she studied the impact of nuclear architecture on the formation of chromosomal translocations. In 2009, she joined IGBMC as a group leader and CNRS researcher, supported by the prestigious ATIP program. In 2010, she obtained her Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches from the University of Strasbourg. In 2014, she received the CNRS Bronze Medal. Her laboratory investigates the balance of DNA repair pathways in relation chromatin structure and nuclear architecture and its impact in the formation of chromosomal translocations.
