Senior research associate, University of Athens

I am Senior Research Associate at the University of Athens, Greece. I did my PhD in Biotechnology at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, focusing on the photosynthetic production of diterpenoids. I obtained my B.Sc in Biology from the University of Athens, Greece, and my M.Sc. in Applied Biotechnology from Uppsala University, Sweden.

I am community editor for PLOS Synbio, member of the steering committee of EUSynBioS, and communications editor for Omic Engine and EFB-EBBS. I actively engage with synthetic biology communities globally and I write articles on Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology.
