He studied Electrical & Computer Engineering at DUTH, followed by a MSc degree in Simulation Sciences at RWTH Aachen University. He has been a research associated at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine at Juelich Research Center, and a scientific visitor at the Center for Neuroscience and Regeneration Research at Yale University. He received his PhD from Maastricht University where he conceptualizes and devises biophysical models of ion channels in health and disease. His research is nowadays focusing on computational biology and medicine, especially, neurology., as well as, complex systems theory and applications. He has co-authored more than a dozen of scientific journal publications (citation index: 283, h-index: 10), and co-invented two patents.
	Evgenios G. Pavlos, MSc, has graduated from the Physics Department of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH). In 2018 he obtained a postgraduate degree in Bioinformatics from the Department of Biology of National University of Athens (NUA) and since 2021 he working as Bioinformatician in the Medicine Department of DUTH. Also, since 2019 he is a PhD candidate in the Department of Medicine at the University of Crete (UC). From 2016 to 2018 he worked at the Institute of Astronomy, Astrophysics, Space Applications and Remote Sensing (IAASARS) at the National Observatory of Athens (NOA). During this period, he worked for the creation of Space Weather forecasting tool under the research program “HESPERIA: High Energy Solar Particle Events foRecastIng and Analysis”. His research study focuses on, i) bioinformatics, ii) nonlinear time series analysis with methods from the Theory of Complexity in several physical and biological systems, iii) Machine Learning and Big Data Analysis. During last years, he has developed collaboration with scientists from several different fields (Biology, University of Penn, USA), (Space Plasma, Southwest Research Institute, USA). He has 16 publications in international peer reviewed journals. (Citation index: 226, h-index: 9).
	Eleni C. Kelli is an undergraduate student of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at DUTH. From June 2016 to August 2017 collaborated with the Pharmacology laboratory of the Department, as a Technician Laboratory. Main responsibilities were the analysis of samples for studies pharmacogenetics and the detection of patient drug levels for clinics of the University Hospital of Alexandroupolis. During this time, used applications of techniques such as, DNA isolation, Polymerace Chain Reaction (PCR), Agorase Gel Electrophoresis, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP). In addition, she prepared her thesis on the subject “Study of gene polymorphisms associated with response to anti-depressant drugs”.
