Undergraduate studies in the Faculty of Biology, University of Athens.
Diploma Thesis: " Purification and Crystallization of Concanavalin A (ConA)."
Supervisor: Professor Stavros J. Hamodrakas

RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research interests are oriented towards the biochemical purification and crystallographic characterization of proteins.
At present my research is focused on crystallization trials of complexes of the plant lectin Concanavalin A with specific saccharides and structural studies by X-Ray crystallographic methods.
