We are very glad to welcome Dr Christos Gournas as a new FNRS postdoc in the lab. Christos obtained his PhD in 2012 after a research in the excellent lab of Pr. George Diallinas (University of Athens, Greece). Among other contributions he reported one of the clearest case of substrate-induced endocytosis of a nutrient permease in the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans (Gournas et a. 2010). He then moved to the lab of Vicky Sophianopoulou (NCSR “Demokritos”, Athens, Greece) where he studied relationships between the 3D structure and function of amino acid permeases in A. nidulans. He now started a new postdoctoral research in the lab as “Chargé de Recherche” of the FNRS.
