Biography

Anthony Tsarbopoulos, is a Professor at the Medical School National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. He is also the Director of the Bioanalytical Department at The Goulandris Natural History Museum. He received his BS degree in Chemistry from University of Athens and his PhD in Analytical Chemistry from Michigan State University. He was a Senior Research Fellow at the Mayo Medical School, and then a Group Leader in the Structural Chemistry Department of Merck/Schering-Plough Research Institute. Dr. Tsarbopoulos has a long experience in the area of complex sample analysis by modern chromatographic and mass spectrometric (MS) methods. He has established advanced bioanalytical methods incorporating ultra-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution tandem MS (UPLC-HR MS/MS) techniques for metabolic, quantitative analysis, pharmacokinetic and structure modification studies of drugs and bioactive compounds of pharmacological interest. He has been the pioneer in developing MS methodologies for detection of protein-ligand noncovalent complexes and determination of the ligand binding sites, and he has applied novel advancement into monitoring several biological systems such as that of the ras protein and the β-amyloid peptide. His recent research interest is focused on ligand disruption of protein aggregation processes in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), with an emphasis on discovering novel molecules of natural origin possessing anti-neurodegenerative properties.
