Marine molecular biologist with a BSc in Biology (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), MSc in Oceanography (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens) and a PhD on Phytoplankton Molecular Biology and Functional Genomics (University of Crete). My research interests focus on fundamental biological studies of photosynthetic organisms and development of technological tools for their detection and monitoring. Currently working on the development of novel in situ nucleic acid sensors for ocean monitoring.
