Vasilia established the Drosophila intestine as an excellent model of tissue communication regulating adult stem cells, tissue regeneration and tumour growth (Tamamouna et al., Nature Cell Biology, 2021). As a Postdoc, she uses CRISPR screening to identify novel cancer‑specific genetic targets for advanced therapeutic products. She received the “Young Scientist” award of 2022 in Cyprus and the Marie Sklodowska‑Curie Fellowship in 2024.
