Biography

I’m currently serving as a consultant of Endocrinology at 424 General Military Hospital in Thessaloniki, Northern Greece where I have a heavy clinical schedule at the hospital and simultaneously run several clinically oriented research projects.
My PhD was on the RANKL-osteoprotegerin bipole. I have published over a hundred scientific articles in peer-reviewed international journals in the areas of thyroid, metabolism, gestational diabetes, and especially metabolic bone diseases, which represent my main area of focus and expertise. I’m currently a member of the European Calcified Tissue Society (ECTS) Academy and co-editor of the ECTS monthly newsletter.
