Dr. Athina Varveri is a Biologist, with an M.Sc. in Molecular Biomedicine and a Ph.D. in Translational Immunology. In her doctorate studies, conducted in the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens (BRFAA), she identified a novel autophagy-mediated mechanism in Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts, which promotes immune suppression and enhances the function of T regulatory cells. Currently, she is a member of the Metabolomic Medicine clinic in Athens, where her research work is centered on mitochondrial bioenergetics and the metabolomic mechanisms underlying chronic and metabolic diseases. She focuses on elucidating how cellular metabolism influences immune regulation and disease progression, with a growing emphasis on the role of nutritional interventions in restoring metabolic balance and improving patient outcomes.
