Panayiotis O. Vacratsis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Windsor. He holds a Ph.D. from Michigan State University. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in signal transduction and the cellular processes it regulates. His laboratory employs biological mass spectrometry and proteomic techniques to study the function of various kinases and phosphatases, particularly in the context of human diseases. Current projects include characterizing the role of the dual specificity phosphatase hYVH1 in cell survival and ribosome biogenesis, as well as exploring the lipid phosphatase MTMR2 and its impact on neuromuscular disorders such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. His work aims to elucidate the mechanisms regulating cellular signaling pathways and the effects of their dysregulation in disease states. Vacratsis has published numerous articles in prominent journals, contributing significantly to the fields of biochemistry and cellular biology.
Includes Mechanical, Automotive, and Materials Engineering streams.
