Gene Regulation & Genomics

Despina Alexandraki

We are interested on the mechanisms governing gene expression regulated by DNA-binding transcription factors and chromatin regulators in response to environmental changes. Our reference system is metalloregulated...

Gene Regulation

Dimitris Kardassis

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Western societies. Genetic defects in key genes of lipoprotein metabolism and pathological conditions such as chronic inflammation, diabetes, obesity and the metabolic...

Gene Regulation

Androniki Kretsovali

Our main research interests are the investigation of molecular processes that regulate embryonic stem cell pluripotency and neuronal regeneration...

Gene Expression & Cell Fate

George Mavrothalassitis

Our long standing interest is the signal regulated transcriptional control in development and disease. Specifically the ETS genes within the RTK/ras/erk pathway in normal and tumor development...

Gene Regulation

Joseph Papamatheakis

Since 2014, the group has shifted research activities to focus on cancer biology. Recent advances in Molecular Biology had a dramatic impact in understanding the mechanisms that drive oncogenic pathways...

Chromatin & Gene Expression

Charalampos G. Spilianakis

Regulation of gene expression can be accomplished "in cis" by several regulatory elements exerting their action on physically linked genes on the same chromosome. A "trans" regulation aspect of gene expression...

Chromatin & Gene Expression

Iannis Talianidis

We study epigenetic mechanisms regulating liver development, hepatocarcinogenesis and metabolism. Our research aims at understanding the interplay between chromatin modifying enzymes...
