Training and Experience

I studied medicine at the University of Athens - Medical School and qualified as a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) in 1995. In 2004, I was awarded a PhD in Surgical Research.

I did my obstetrics and gynaecology training in the UK. Following the completion of subspecialty training in Urogynaecology, I was awarded an Ethicon Travel Award by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and worked as a visiting Scholar in the University of Michigan, where I participated in research projects with the Pelvic Floor Research Group.

I am currently a member of several national and international scientific and professional committees, working groups and societies and I regularly participate as an invited speaker or chairman in several national and international conferences. I have published over 50 peer-reviewed articles and authored over 20 book chapters.
