Anastasios D. Tsaousis is the Principal Investigator of the Laboratory of Molecular and Evolutionary Parasitology at the University of Kent. In 2007 he obtained his Ph.D. from Newcastle University. From 2008 to 2012, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Dalhousie University . In July 2013, he joined the School of Biosciences at the University of Kent as a Lecturer. He is now a Senior Lecturer in molecular and evolutionary parasitology. He not only teaches various modules at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels but was also an Outreach Officer of the School (2014–2018), a Director of MSc by Research (2017–2018), and a GMO officer (2014–2018), and he initiated the Resistance Pathogenicity of Infectious Diseases (RAPID) group within the School of Biosciences. He is currently the Chief examiner of the School of Biosciences. Outside the University of Kent, he has been actively involved with many national and international societies. He has been a member of the Eukaryotic Division of the Microbiology Society since 2015. He is currently the Vice President of the Protistology UK Society (since 2018) and has been elected five times as a member of the executive committee of the International Society for Evolutionary Protistology (since 2010). The current research in his laboratory is focused on investigations of the adaptations of microbial eukaryotic organisms and their trajectory in parasitic evolution and diversity.
