“Strengthening the potential of algal proteins for food colouring and fortification using high-pressure technologies” (PRESSION) ANSO Project No. ANSO-CR-PP-2021-01
Algal phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are increasingly recognised as safe and affordable, highly bioactive natural food colourants in place of carcinogenic chemical ones. The Institute of Chemical Biology {ICB/NHRF), participates in the project "PRESSION", which aims at the use of high pressure technologies for the colour preservation and stability during storage of food colourants purified from cyanobacteria and red algae, to meet the challenge for their greater industrial use.

The American Numismatic Society honored Dr. Sophia D. Kremydi, Research Director (SGRA/IHR), with the 2021 Huntington Award
Dr. Sophia Kremydi, Research Director at the Section of Greek and Roman Antiquity of the Institute of Historical Research, was bestowed the highest honor of the American Numismatic Society, the 2021 Archer Milton Huntington Medal Award, for outstanding contribution to Numismatics. The medal was presented by the Society’s President, Dr. Ute Wartenberg, at a ceremony that took place in Athens on the 15th of June 2022. After the presentation Dr. Kremydi delivered the Silvia Mani Hurter Lecture on “Issuing Authority and Legal Tender in the Hellenistic World”.

HFRI Scholarship for PhD candidate of TPCI/NHRF George Chatzigiannakis
George Chatzigiannakis (PhD candidate) who is preparing his doctoral dissertation at TPCI/NHRF under the supervision of the Senior Researcher Dr. Maria Kandyla, received a scholarship from HFRI in the context of the 3rd HFRI Scholarship Announcement for Doctoral Candidates. The topic of his doctoral dissertation is "Development of micro / nanostructured electronic/optoelectronic devices with laser processing methods" and aims at the development of electronic and optoelectronic devices (photodetectors, LEDs) with advanced features, combining laser treatment methods with traditional and emerging materials.

Invited lecture by Dr. S. Pispas, Research Director of TPCI/NHRF
The Research Director of TPCI/NHRF Dr. Stergios Pispas presented a guest speech entitled "Responsive copolymers by RAFT polymerization as building blocks for constructing self-assembled bio-hybrid nanostructures", within the context of the international conference International Conference on Progress in Organic and Macromolecular Compounds, 28th Edition, Iasi, Romania (7- October 9, 2021). Dr. Pispas presented the recent results of the TPCI Polymer Research Team in the design and synthesis of innovative responsive block copolymers, as well as their applications in the preparation of bio-hybrid nanostructures from synthetic copolymers and biomacromolecules, with the aim of transporting and releasing therapeutic DNAs, RNAs and proteins.

Controlled chemical functionalization toward 3D-2D carbon nanohorn-MoS2 heterostructures with enhanced electrocatalytic activity for protons reduction
The postdoctoral fellow Dr. Antonia Kagkoura and the Research Director of TPCI/NHRF Dr. Nikos Tagmatarchis are co-authors of the above publication in Advanced Functional Materials 2021, (vol. 31, pp. 2105287), the leading journal in the field of Materials Science. The publication is an international collaboration of the TPCI/NHRF with a world-renowned research team from the University of Zaragoza (Spain), which specializes in the morphological analysis of nanostructured materials by electron microscopy.

"RESEARCH - CREATE - INNOVATE" 2nd CYCLE | ΒΙΟΚΑRΕΤRΑ
The National Hellenic Research Foundation participates in the research project ΒΙΟΚΑRΕΤRΑ "Identification of genomic and transcriptomic prognostic bio-signatures in head and neck cancer". The BIOKARETRA project is in the context of translational research that aims to identify and validate prognostic and predictive biomarkers for head and neck cancer.

Completion of the first digital map of Greece within its administrative boundaries of 1940
As part of the research project “Database of German military and paramilitary units in Greece 1941-1944/45” and within the framework of an international collaboration between the National Hellenic Research Foundation (NHRF), the University of Osnabrück and the Greek National Center for Social Research (EKKE), the first digital map of Greece within its administrative boundaries of 1940 is now being created.
