Dr Eva Kevei

Biography

Dr. Eva Kevei is currently working as a Lecturer in Cell Biology in the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Reading , United Kingdom. Major Responsibilities: • Lecturer in Cell Biology Research: Dr. Kevei's research work is focusing on the physiological role of ubiquitylation dependent signaling pathways with emphasis on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of ageing and ageing-related diseases. Her research interest includes: • investigating the function of different proteins of the ubiquitylation/deubiquitylation system in longevity and stress regulation by using the model organism of C. elegans • exploring how the different organellar quality control mechanisms, embedded in tissue specific proteostasis network cooperate and communicate in order to maintain organismal health • generating new C. elegans models for human diseases. Member of the Molecular & Cellular Medicine Group Esteem Factors: • "Young Scientist Fellowship" of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary (2002-2005) • Book chapter: Phytochrome signal transduction in Photoreceptors and light signalling (Ed.: Batschauer, A.) (2003) • 1st place awards in the contest of "Qualitas Biologica Foundation" with the PhD dissertation (2007) and with publication (2008) • Post-doctoral research fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation, Germany (2007-2009) • Invited speaker at "Decoding the Ubiquitin Chain" meeting, Berlin, Germany (2014) • Volunteer in organizing the International Meeting of the German Society for Cell Biology (2015) • Peer reviewer for Cell Death & Disease International Collaborators: • Prof Thorsten Hoppe, (University of Cologne, CECAD, Germany) • Prof Nico Dantuma, (Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden)
