Biography

Stavroula Hatzios is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Yale University, with a focus on Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Her research emphasizes the molecular interactions between microbial host cells and their impacts on human health and disease. She employs chemical tools to discover proteins, post-translational modifications, and metabolites that shape host–microbe interactions within the gastrointestinal tract. Dr. Hatzios aims to understand how bacterial host cells adapt to oxidative stress during infection, utilizing a combination of chemical proteomics, genetics, and infection models to identify how protein oxidation affects these interactions. She further explores pathways shaping redox homeostasis at the host–microbe interface through mass spectrometry-based approaches. By bridging the fields of chemistry and microbiology, she seeks to develop innovative methodologies that enhance our understanding of host–microbe interactions, thereby generating new leads for therapeutic targets, diagnostics, and drug-delivery systems.
