I am a senior resident doctor at the Clinic of Nephrology and Renal Transplantation in “Laiko” Hospital Athens, Greece. I performed part of my studies at University Hospital Cologne, Germany. Moreover, my research interests include glomerular diseases and the genetic basis and pathophysiology of hereditary kidney diseases. The study of molecular mechanisms implicated in cardiovascular disease in polycystic hereditary kidney disease is the main part of my PhD study.
