Biography
Dr. Marios Agelopoulos earned his B.S. degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Crete in 2002. His undergraduate diploma thesis was performed in the laboratory of Professor C. Louis at IMBB (Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Heraklion-Crete). In 2007 he was awarded a long-term EMBO fellowship for post-doctoral research at Columbia University, where he joined the laboratory of Professor Richard S. Mann at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics. His research was focused on analyzing chromatin-based mechanisms of developmentally regulated gene activation and repression during early embryonic life, in Drosophila. In 2015, Dr. Agelopoulos was appointed as an Investigator D (lecturer level) at the Center of Basic Research.
Research Interest
His laboratory research focuses on the role of chromatin architecture and genome plasticity in gene-specific transcription using model systems such as Drosophila embryos, Mouse Embryos and cell lines.
