Biography

Dr Andoniadou established her research group at KCL in 2013. Her current research is focused on the molecular regulation of endocrine stem cell populations. Ongoing projects in the lab are exploring: (i) stem cell contribution to homeostasis and regenerative potential; (ii) the signalling mechanisms influencing cell fate decisions; (iii) factors regulating the switch between regenerative and tumourigenic potential of stem cells.

Dr Andoniadou is the recipient of a Lister Institute Research Prize and is an Academic Lead on the MRC Doctoral Training Partnership in Biomedical Sciences (https://kcl-mrcdtp.com). She is an active member of the developmental biology and endocrine communities, serving on committees of UK and international societies (British Society for Developmental Biology, Society for Endocrinology, Endocrine Society). 

    Research

    Well-defined gels
    Centre for Craniofacial & Regenerative Biology

    Our research goes beyond the mouth. If we understand how the entire face and head forms, we can repair damage and regenerate cells. If we unravel the causes of diseases, we can treat patients successfully. If we solve these problems, our discoveries will improve health worldwide.

    From Developmental Biology to Regenerative Medicine

    Understanding organ development and tissue regeneration provides a framework for elucidating disease mechanisms as well as for developing new therapeutics.
