After completing my undergraduate studies in the Biology department at the University of Crete (UoC) in Greece, I pursued a Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences with a focus on Developmental and Therapeutic Biology at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) in the Netherlands.

In 2023, I graduated from UvA and started my PhD in the labs of Tineke Lenstra and Elzo de Wit at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI). At the NKI, I am focusing on the role of transcriptional fluctuations during the early stages of mouse embryo development, using the gastruloid model.
