Ioannis Charalampopoulos

Our research interest is focusing on the investigation of the molecular mechanisms that growth factors and their receptors are using to regulate the regenerative capacity...

adult neurogenesis & regenerative pharmacology

Achilleas Gravanis

We are interested in developing agonists of neurotrophin receptors, with neuroprotective and neurogenic properties and potential applications in therapeutics of neurodegenerative diseases...

Neuropharmacology

We are interested in neuronal development and axoglial interactions during myelination. Neuronal development: We study the genetic, molecular and cellular bases of neurogenesis, neuronal migration and axon guidance...

Neural Development

Maria Monastirioti

We are interested in a) biological processes underlying the establishment of cellular fate and function within nervous system and b) how neuronal function and neuroactive molecules impact the physiology and behaviour...

Neural Development

Vassiliki Nikoletopoulou

The main interest of our group is to investigate the process of autophagic degradation in mammalian neurons. Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic pathway that degrades macromolecules as well as damaged or...

Neuroscience & Metabolism

Panayiota Poirazi

Work in my lab focuses on understanding how dendrites contribute to complex brain functions such as learning and memory. Dendrites, the thin processes that extend from the cell bodies of neurons...

Computational Neuroscience

Kyriaki Sidiropoulou

Cognitive processes, such as working memory and long-term memory, are the hallmarks of advanced intellectual properties that have significantly evolved in mammals...
