Biography
Stamatis Pagakis is the head of the Biological Imaging Unit (BIU). He received his Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the University of Patras, and his MS and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from University of California, Davis, with specialization in cardiovascular imaging, microscopy and image analysis. His research focused on the development of imaging techniques, such as quantitative intracellular calcium imaging and 3D visualisation using image restoration, to study the biological mechanism for the modulation of capillary blood vessel permeability in-situ.
Research Interest
His current interests focus on image restoration, 3D visualisation and the development of algorithms for automatic analysis of biological microscopy images.
