Professional Background:

Hi, my name is Eva Doukas. I completed my Bachelor of Science at Monash University in 2022 majoring in chemistry. In 2023, I then went on to complete my Honours in chemistry at Monash University under the supervision of Professor Andrea Robinson. The focus of my project was oxytocin’s receptor interactions via insertion of metal ions into the disulfide bridge. Furthermore, I introduced modifications into the structure of native oxytocin to investigate its ability to self-assemble into micellular structures.

Research Interests:

Following the completion of my Honours, I commenced my PhD at Monash University with Professor Andrea Robinson in May 2024. For my PhD project, I am continuing the investigation of disulfide bridge replacements in disulfide-containing peptides. This will be examined through the insertion of metal ions, which also includes radioisotopes for radiopharmaceutical development.
