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 a BS from University of Maryland, College Park and her PhD from University of Maryland, Baltimore. Dr. Laiakis’ lab aims to expand the field of radiation metabolomics and lipidomics through mass spectrometry with untargeted and targeted approaches. 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; 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. Finally, she is an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Radiation Biology, Radiation Research, and Frontiers Oncology. Dr. Laiakis 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.
