HORIZON-CL6-2027-02-FARM2FORK-06 / Smart, Safe and Climate-Resilient Small-Scale Aquatic Food Systems for Prosperous Coastal Communities
Associate Professor - Molecular Food & Seafood Microbiology, Safety & Quality at University of Thessaly
Volos, Greece
About
We are seeking European partners to develop and demonstrate innovative solutions for sustainable small-scale fisheries, aquaculture and recreational fisheries, integrating environmental monitoring, seafood safety, digital technologies, climate resilience and locally adapted business models to strengthen coastal communities.
Our objective is to co-develop and demonstrate transferable innovations that improve the sustainability of small-scale aquatic food systems while generating tangible benefits for local communities.
My research expertise focuses on molecular microbiology, seafood quality and safety, microbial ecology, antimicrobial resistance, and the application of advanced omics technologies, including genomics, metagenomics, metataxonomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics.
My work integrates conventional microbiology, molecular approaches, predictive microbiology and microbiological risk assessment to investigate microbial hazards, contamination pathways, spoilage mechanisms and microbial interactions across aquatic and other food systems.
