Kyriaki Pavlou PhD student. cpavloubiol.uoa.gr EDUCATION 1998-present: PhD student in the Department of Cell Biology and Biophysics, Faculty of Biology, University of Athens. Title: "Biochemical and structural studies of Concanavalin A". Supervisor: Professor Stavros J. Hamodrakas Undergraduate studies in the Faculty of Biology, University of Athens. Diploma Thesis: " Purification and Crystallization of Concanavalin A (ConA)." Supervisor: Professor Stavros J. Hamodrakas RESEARCH INTERESTS My research interests are oriented towards the biochemical purification and crystallographic characterization of proteins. At present my research is focused on crystallization trials of complexes of the plant lectin Concanavalin A with specific saccharides and structural studies by X-Ray crystallographic methods.
