About me
- I hold a medical degree from the University of Ioannina and a Master’s
degree in neuroscience from the University of Crete, within the
interdisciplinary graduate programme ‘/Brain & - Mind/’. During my MSc
studies, I gained broad experience in the field of both molecular and
computational neuroscience. My assignments have focused on neuropharmacology,
physiology experiments involving non-human primates (NHPs) and
neurophysiological data analysis. Since 2021, I have joined Prof. Nordberg's
Translational Molecular Imaging Lab, aspiring to expand my knowledge on
molecular neuroimaging and neurodegenerative diseases biomarkers. I started
my PhD in March 2023 aiming to contribute to the understanding of
pathophysiological mechanisms of tauopathies, such as Alzheimer’s disease
(AD), with the use of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracers, plasma and
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) biomarkers. My goal is to combine these methods
with the clinical examination for the early diagnosis of AD and contribute to
the development of disease-modifying treatments.
