CURRICILUM VITAE

Dr. Efthymios Poulios is a graduate of the Biology department of Αristotle University of Thessaloniki (2002), and holder of a PhD from the Department of Medicine of the University of Thessaly (2006), which was proceeded at the Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Aging, of the Institute of Biological Research and Biotechnology, of the National Research Foundation, on the subject of the effect of hypoxia on the senescence of human fibroblasts.

He was appointed an Educational Laboratory Assistant in the academic subject "Microbiology" at the Department of Food Science and Nutrition of the University of the Aegean in July 2016, while he was transferred to the position of Laboratory Teaching Staff in December 2017.

At the research level, he has worked as a postdoctoral researcher/scientific associate in various university departments and laboratories. Specifically, in the Laboratory of Biological Chemistry, Department of Medicine, University of Ioannina (2013-2015), in the Laboratory of Physiology of Animal Organisms, Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, University of Thessaly (2011), and in the Laboratory of Gene Expression, Molecular Diagnostics and Modern Therapeutics, in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, of the Democritus University of Thrace (2008). His diploma thesis as an undergraduate student, was proceeded at the Laboratory of General Microbiology of the Biology Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2001), and his internship, within the framework of the EPEAEK program, at the Hemostasis-Thrombosis Laboratory of the 1st Pre-Educational Pathology Clinic of the General University Hospital of Thessaloniki AHEPA.

At the teaching level, he has been teaching in several university departments. Specifically, in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition of the University of the Aegean (in the undergraduate program during the academic years 2011-13, and 2016 to date, and in the course "Pharmaconutrients and health promotion" in the Postgraduate Program "Nutrition, Wellbeing and Public Health", from 2020).
