Axel Guilbaud and Kostas Sousounis

Dr. Axel Guilbaud received his PhD from the University of Lille, France in 2019, and joined the Lee Lab shortly afterwards. Dr. Guilbaud’s main work is to discover DNA adducts that track aging and its associated pathologies such as Alzheimer Disease (AD) using analytical chemistry instruments (HPLC-MS/MS, Q-tof, Orbitrap, NMR). He will be presenting a seminar titled “Discovery of DNA modification that track aging”.

Dr. Konstantinos “Kostas” Sousounis completed his PhD work at the University of Dayton in the lab of Dr. Panagiotis Tsonis, and had a postdoctoral research position in the lab of Dr. Joanna Jankowsky at Baylor. Dr. Sousounis joined the Whited Lab in the summer of 2016 to lead a collaborative project with Mike Levin’s group at the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts. He is the recipient of the Charles A. King Trust Postdoctoral Fellowship and the NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award. He will be presenting a practice chalk talk.
