Dr. Evagelia C Laiakis

Evagelia C. Laiakis is an Associate Professor at Georgetown University in the Department of Oncology at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, USA. Her research focus includes understanding metabolic responses to scenarios involving a wide range of doses (low-dose to acute-radiation-syndrome-associated doses), dose rates, normal tissue responses, and radiation quality effects (photons, neutrons, and high-energy particles), utilizing biofluids and tissues from rodents to humans and developing biodosimetry assays. Her work also includes space radiation effects in combination with stressors such as microgravity, with particular emphasis on multi-omics integration. She was elected to the NCRP in 2019 and has served at PAC 1 since 2016. In 2021, she served as the co-chair of the Annual NCRP meeting.
