Charalambos Proestos

Charalambos Proestos is a Professor of Food Chemistry at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry. His research bridges biochemical mechanisms in food science with clinical cardiovascular outcomes.

• Specializes in lipid metabolism, cardiovascular risk biomarkers
• Active in translational research through the HELLAS-FH and CALLINICUS-Hellas registries
• Key focus on familial hypercholesterolemia, arterial stiffness, and air pollution effects

Recent publications in Cardiology and Clinical Biochemistry journals highlight his interdisciplinary approach. His work explores:

• Lipoprotein (a) as a predictive biomarker
• Interactions between environmental stressors (air pollution) and genetic factors (telomere length)
• Novel methodologies in CT angiography and AI-driven diagnostic tools
• Metaclinical applications of artificial intelligence in scientific publishing

He contributes to refining cardiovascular risk assessment frameworks and advancing precision medicine through:

• Development of diagnostic algorithms for amyloidosis
• Validation of quantitative flow ratio in coronary interventions
• Comparative analysis of lipid-lowering therapies
• Investigation of digital health literacy gaps
