About me
I am a scientist turned entrepreneur, driven by a mission to bring oxidative stress research out of the lab and into people’s lives.
Born in Thessaloniki in 1995, I graduated top of my class in Biochemistry & Biotechnology (2017), completed a Master’s and PhD in Toxicology (2023), with a focus on free radicals and redox balance.
Since 2019, I’ve been leading FoodOxys, a University of Thessaly spin-off backed by Uni.Fund and part of the Elevate Greece innovation ecosystem. I’m also the Managing Director of Olea Fortius, a company exploring the nutrigenomic potential of olive-based extracts.
I’ve authored 30 peer-reviewed articles (h-index 11) and co-authored a book on “Intermittent Fasting and Disease Prevention” (2019). In 2024, I was honored to be included in Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Greece.
