Dimitrios Georgios Skliros obtained his Ph.D. from the Faculty of Biotechnology at the Agricultural University of Athens in 2018. After serving his one-year army duty, he is working as a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Molecular Biology at the Agricultural University of Athens. His main research interest is Microbial Biotechnology, with a focus on bacteriophages and their biotechnological use. He has also received special training in Next-generation sequencing technologies in the frame of European research projects. He has over 20 peer-review publications and has received a government fund to establish a private brand, for consulting services in Geotechnology and Biotechnology (brand name Novagiotech). His main goal is to bridge the gap between the private sector and academia in Europe for innovative solutions in modern needs, while at the same time he keeps building a strong academic record.

Nodulation: What Is It and Why Is It Important?

Plants are incredibly organisms. Not only do they provide atmospheric oxygen, but, in the case of legumes, they can transform atmospheric nitrogen gas to ammonia, which can then be consumed by humans. How does this happen, you ask? It’s all thanks to bacteria and the process of nodulation. Deep Breaths Nitrogen is an incredibly important…

The Importance of Metabolomics Research

Metabolomics may sound like a fictional character in the famous comic series “Asterix”, but it is very important in understanding systems biology and in clinical research against various diseases. Metabolomics is the last piece of a puzzle of omics applications following genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. It allows us to ask “What has happened and what…

The Art of Bridging the Gap between Scientists and the Public

Communicating your science to a lay audience is different than giving a talk to other scientists. An urban legend says that when Michael Faraday verified the relationship between electricity and magnetism, he was asked to present his evidence to the prime minister of England. So, he had his coils arranged and he just moved a…

Learn-omics! What is that “Omics” I keep Stumbling Upon?

Learn-omics! What is that “Omics” I keep Stumbling Upon?

Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics – words that in 2015 sound very familiar even to a freshman in any biology field. Although most have heard those words before, I keep encountering students or even post-graduates who find it difficult to explain what they are. So, to make things easier here is a peek behind the curtains…
