Dr. Ioannis Christodoulou received his undergraduate education in Biology at Royal Holloway, University of London, England in 1999. After completing his Masters degree in Immunology at Imperial College, University of London, he started his doctorate studies in Tissue Engineering (Medical Biotechnology) and was awarded a PhD degree from the School of Medicine of the same university in 2004. During the period 2004-2006 he worked as post-doctoral research scientist on human embryonic stem cells at the Division of Gene Function and Development of the Roslin Institute (University of Edinburgh) in Scotland. In 2007, following his military service, he worked as a post-doctoral research associate in clinical immunology for 3 years at the University of Athens Medical School, Greece. Since 2010 Dr. Ioannis Christodoulou has joined the Institute of Biological Research and Biotechnology of the National Hellenic Research Foundation (IBRB-NHRF) as a post-doctoral research fellow leading a project in applied human stem cell research.
