He studied Biology at the University of Athens and obtained his PhD from Athens Medical School. In 2008 he moved to Mario Negri as a “Marie Curie” fellow and joined KIDSTEM, a European Research Network for the development of Stem Cell-based strategies for the regeneration of the kidney. He received training in several high-profile laboratories (including Jikei Medical School in Tokyo, University of Edinburgh, Medical School of Vienna, European Molecular Biology Organization in Heidelberg, and others), focusing on the subjects of kidney development, stem cells, and their participation in regenerative processes. His main research interest is building functional kidney tissue from stem cells for the treatment of kidney disease.
