معرفی
Andreas Milias Argeitis is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Groningen. He leads the Milias-Argeitis Lab within the Molecular Systems Biology research unit at the Groningen Biomolecular Sciences & Biotechnology Institute (GBB). His research focuses on integrating experimental and computational approaches to understand cellular processes, particularly the coordination between cell growth, division, and metabolic dynamics in budding yeast.
Key research areas include systems biology, TOR signaling pathways, cell cycle regulation, and the application of machine learning and mathematical modeling. His lab develops advanced tools like optogenetic control systems and deep learning algorithms for cell segmentation and tracking. Recent work has revealed metabolic oscillations linked to the cell cycle and explored the role of proteins like Sch9 in TORC1-dependent signaling.
Notable achievements include an NWO Vidi Grant (2018) and an ENW Science-M Grant (2023) for studying how growth drives the cell division cycle. He has over 40 peer-reviewed publications, including work in Nature Communications, Nature Metabolism, and Journal of Cell Science. His research bridges fundamental biology with technological innovations in single-cell analysis and synthetic biology.
Lab activities include CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing protocols, fluorescent protein maturation studies, and the development of photo-switchable enzymes. Collaborations span biochemistry, mathematics, and engineering, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach to unraveling cellular mechanisms.
