I received my medical degree from the School of Health Sciences at the University of Athens in Greece. After my graduation, I joined the MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas as a post-doctoral research fellow. There, I led projects on novel therapeutic approaches for metastatic prostate cancer focused mainly on the DNA damage response, activation of immune signaling and mechanisms of apoptosis in in-vitro and in-vivo models. I, then, moved to Brown University as a research associate, where I ran epidemiologic studies on C. difficile, MRSA and ESBL gram negative bacteria and was involved in clinical trials investigating novel diagnostic nanotechnology-based molecular assays for the diagnosis of bacteremia and candidemia. Subsequently, I completed my Internal Medicine Residency at Boston University Medical Center and I am now an Infectious Diseases clinical and research fellow at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. My current research focuses on novel therapeutic vaccination strategies for Tuberculosis, working under the mentorship of Petros Karakousis, MD and Richard Markham, MD.
