Research Interests include environmental biology, marine biology, fish physiology, and skeletal development. His work investigates how temperature, diet, and pollutants influence phenotypic plasticity and deformity incidence in aquaculture species.

Recent Publications highlight studies on microplastics toxicity, temperature-induced developmental changes, and genetic factors in fish deformities. These papers span interdisciplinary fields such as environmental toxicology, aquaculture management, and comparative physiology.

Lab and Facilities: His lab operates within the Biology building at the University of Crete, equipped for marine and freshwater fish studies, including skeletal analysis and microbiota research.
