Christos received a B.Sc. in Biology and a M.Sc. degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Patras, trained in the lab of C. Stathopoulos. Christos is interested in understanding mechanistic aspects of long non-coding RNA chromatin dissociation dynamics and their function in regulating cognate enhancer activity and target gene expression.
Sofia is a PhD candidate and she holds a master in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine (University of Crete), and a B.Sc. in Biology from the University of Crete. Currently she aims to address questions on myelin organization and function of cortical interneurons using the appropriate mouse models.
Ph.D. student; Organic chemistry and biophysics, Department of Pharmacy (RUG/The Netherlands) & Biomedical campus (KUL/Belgium)
Co-supervised with Prof. Domling [main advisor, Department of Pharmacy (RUG/The Netherlands) & adjunct researcher at IMBB-FORTH)]
Stefanos is a graduate student in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine (University of Crete), and holds a B.Sc. in Biology from the University of Crete. Currently he aims to address challenging questions on the role of autophagy in myelin maintenance using mouse organotypic brain slices.
Niki obtained a B.Sc. in Biology and an M.Sc. in Neurosciences from the University of Crete, Greece. She joined the Karagogeos lab as a BSc student to study the role of a novel cytoskeletal molecule in interneurons. Following that, she started working in the field of oligodendrocyte autophagy as a member of the Savvaki team-Karagogeos lab. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate and she aims to explore the role of autophagy in CNS myelin during development using in vivo and in vitro approaches.

Zouzana obtained a B.Sc. in Molecular Biology and Genetics from the Democritus University of Thrace and an M.Sc. in Neuroscience from the University of Crete, Greece. She joined the Karagogeos lab as a BSc student. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate working on the role of Rac1 and Rac3 small RhoGTPases in cortical interneuron development. She is using time-lapse imaging techniques as well as other state-of-the-art approaches such as electroporation in brain slices and ex vivo migration assays to uncover the cellular defects of interneurons lacking Rac1/3. She is also using -omics approaches to uncover downstream events.
