Research Groups
Angiogenesis & Cancer Drug Discovery Group
Malamati Kourti
Our research group mainly focuses on malignant angiogenesis and the interplay between oxidative stress or inflammation and cancer. In this scope, one of the interests of the group is to unravel the underlying mechanisms of angiogenesis…
Cancer Metastasis & Adhesion Group
Vasiliki Gkretsi
As cancer-associated mortality is mainly due to cancer cell metastasis and not due to the primary tumor itself, our research is focusing on understanding the process of metastasis at the cellular and molecular level, identifying the key molecular…
Microbiome & Cancer Group
Antonia Sophocleous
The main focus of the Microbiome and Cancer Group is to investigate the influence of the gut microbiome on gastrointestinal cancers. Over the past few years evidence has shown that dietary supplementation with probiotics is necessary…
Cancer Genetics, Genomics & Systems Biology Group
Apostolos Zaravinos
Our research group is focusing on the advanced understanding of carcinogenesis through the investigation of interactions between genes. Current major interests include the discovery of therapeutic targets in cancer using next-generation sequencing…
Cancer Mechanobiology & Applied Biophysics
Andreas Stylianou
The Cancer Mechanobiology and Applied Biophysics group focuses on the investigation of tumor microenvironment mechanical and biophysical properties, the understanding of cancer and stromal cells mechanosensing and the…
Tumor Immunology & Biomarkers Group
Maria-Ioanna (Marianna) Christodoulou
During the last decades, emerging evidence support the pivotal role of the immune system during tumor development in humans. Aberrant immune-regulatory mechanisms are implicated in evasion of cancer cells from immune surveillance…
Tumor Microenvironment, Metastasis & Experimental Therapeutics Group
Panagiotis Papageorgis
Our research group is interested in deciphering the molecular events that drive metastasis, which is main cause of death for most cancer patients. Using a variety of cellular and molecular biology techniques, mouse models coupled with whole-body…
