About me

  • MD PhD

     

    Senior consultant rheumatologist | Associate Professor of Rheumatology


    Research area: Clinical and translational research within the field of inflammation and autoimmunity

     

    I studied medicine at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, and graduated in 2006. I have an interest in B cell biology and novel treatments for systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis. My research has focused on identifying biomarkers and calibrating predictive models for diagnostics, clinical and immune responses to therapies, and long-term prognosis in systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis.

Research

  • The goal of our research is to contribute to improved surveillance and management for people living with systemic lupus erythematosus. We focus on
    identification of biomarkers that reflect activity and portend flare,  response or non-response to therapy, particularly B cell targeted biologics,  and long-term outcome. We stress on patient-reported health status and patient participation in medical care.

     

    Last but not least, we have projects within medical pedagogy, and we are currently working on the development of a novel virtual patient modality for 
    enhancing the acquirement of clinical reasoning skills and for facilitating interprofessional learning.
