Dr. Despoina Trasanidou is a Postdoctoral researcher at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands (Prof. Dr. John van der Oost lab) and a Research fellow at Florida State University in the United States (Dr. Hong Li lab), specialized in CRISPR-Cas protein engineering for applications in human cells and plants. She obtained her PhD from the Wageningen University & Research with a focus on the in vitro/ in vivo characterisation and engineering of novel enzymes to create genetic tools with improved traits. Specifically, she invented CRISPR-Cas (e.g. base editors) and anti-CRISPR tools to manipulate human and bacterial cells for applications in medicine and biotechnology. She previously obtained her MSc in Cellular and Molecular Biotechnology from the same university and her BSc from the University of Aegean in Greece. To date, Dr. Despoina Trasanidou has received 5 grants and 6 awards, and she has several publications and a patent on the CRISPR-Cas technology.
