Areas of Interest


Diabetes – Obesity – Metabolism

 

Diabetes, obesity, metabolism, their in-between associations, and with several other cardiometabolic risk factors and disorders (e.g., NAFLD, dyslipidemia) both in clinical and research levels.

My goal is to expand my knowledge and research skills regarding the aforementioned areas in terms of pathophysiology, prevention, diagnosis, progression, and novel treatment strategies.


Study design & Methodology

 

Understanding the concepts of study design and applying the appropriate research methods and tools to translational and clinical research.

Moreover, formulating research questions, collecting and analyzing different types of data, selecting the appropriate study design and interpreting the research results.


Omics

 

Omics is an advanced, rapidly evolving, and emerging research field significantly associated with my research interests. It is a state-of-the-art technique that is fundamental in interpreting the biology behind several cardiometabolic disorders and gaining a global perspective and an in-depth understanding of this particular area.

I’m interested in the management, evaluation, and interpretation of large omics databases (i.e. metabolomics) related to cardiometabolic disorders, in order to reveal and explore underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and develop potential treatment strategies.


Bioinformatics

 

Especially applied to diabetes, obesity, and metabolism. It is a fascinating scientific field, and one of my primary goals is to learn and expand my knowledge in this kind of big data analysis.
