Program

The School of Medicine, the Department of Biology and the Department of Psychology of the University of Crete, run the Graduate Program in Neurosciences in collaboration with neuroscientists from different Universities and Research Institutes in Greece and abroad.

The Program focuses on Cellular, Molecular, Systems, Translational and Clinical Neurosciences. Students receive strong, interdisciplinary training in neuroscience that will prepare them for careers in research, industry and teaching.

The Program leads to a Master’s Degree in Neuroscience after four semesters of courses and research laboratory work (laboratory rotations and master thesis).

Research Interests

My research is focused on the study of dopaminergic interactions with other neuroactive and /or psychotropic substances (thyroid hormones, somatostatin, opioids, psychostimulants), involving the anatomical, neurochemical, pharmacological and behavioural aspects of brain function.
