I graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, Greece. During my specialty in Nephrology, I awarded my PhD on antigen presentation in hemodialysis patients. I have also been a visitor investigator at the Immunology Department, Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA, USA and a visitor nephrologist in Nephrology and Kidney Transplant Program, Hospital Del Mar, Barcelona Spain. Now I’m an associate professor of Nephrology in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Thessaly, Larissa, Greece and beyond my teaching and clinical duties I run a research laboratory focused on molecular medicine. I’ve published more than 180 studies in journals indexed in PUBMED, which were cited more than 3000 times. In most of these studies I was the first and corresponding author.

Research Interest: My current research interests focus on Stem cell biology and pathophysiology of bone marrow failure and leukemia; identifying and targeting the alternative oxidative DNA-damage response pathways required for cancer progression; the role of a major proliferating protein, nucleophosmin (NPM) in cancer development.
Research Interest:
Molecular Cytogenetic Risk Stratification of DLBCL
Double Hit Lymphoma and MYC/BCL2 Double Expresser Lymphoma
Clinicopathologic and Molecular Study of Mantle Cell

Research Interest:
Academic Higher Surgical Training Programme in Trauma and Orthopaedics at UCL
and the RNOH, Stanmore and am committed to a career in Academic Orthopaedic
Surgery. Before embarking on higher surgical training I spent a period of
training in research methods and techniques of relevance to Orthopaedics, in
particular Tissue Engineering and Stem Cell Biology. This research time will
enable me to develop my own interests in research and it will provide excellent
grounding for a future career in Academic Orthopaedic Sciences. It will also
provide me with a scientific basis for clinical practice and improve my ability
to translate new findings from research into improved everyday clinical care
for patients.

Research Interest:
Specialized in Internal Medicine, Nephrology and Transplantation. His Research focuses
on the understanding and Prevention of Regulated Necrosis in the Context of
Disease. He follows a Translational approach to develop inhibitors of regulated
necrosis for clinical purposes, with a major focus on renal transplantation and
acute kidney injury.
