Dedoussis Georgios

Professor Georgios Dedoussis holds a position at Harokopio University's Department of Biology, specializing in molecular genetics and nutrigenetics. He has conducted research at Harvard University under a Fulbright Scholarship and received the Gutenberg Chair from the Grand Est Region. His work focuses on genetic determinants of obesity, lipid disorders, and NAFLD, with over 300 publications (h-index 85).

Education includes a PhD in Molecular Biology from Athens University (1995), DEA in Biotechnology from the University of Compiegne (1990), and a Biology degree from Patras University (1988). He coordinates European grants like the Marie Curie RISE initiative (MAST4HEALTH.eu), exploring natural compound therapies and genetic predictors for chronic diseases.

Key research areas include genome-wide association studies, bioinformatics for genetic variant identification, and lifestyle-genetic interactions. Recent work involves mastiha supplementation trials for NAFLD and genetic risk scores for bariatric surgery outcomes.
