I'm a biology graduate from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki with a strong interest in developmental genetics and gene regulation. My research focuses on early embryonic brain development, using CRISPR-Cas9 and confocal imaging in Drosophila. I’ve worked on these topics both at AUTh and during a summer internship at the University of Texas at Arlington. I’ve presented at several national and international conferences, and I'm currently involved in projects on spatial transcriptomics and mitochondrial pathways in neurological disorders. I'm now looking forward to continuing this path through a PhD.
