Leonidas Alexopoulos
Harvard Medical School / MIT, Postdoctoral Fellow
Bioengineering, Cancer, Computational Biology, Systems Biology
Currently I'm working on a collaborative effort between MIT, HMS, and Pfizer to explore signaling networks of liver cells using a systems biology approach.
Applications of this research is on drug development, efficacy, and toxicity. I have also accepted a lecturer position at the National Technical University
of Athens (starting on Feb 2008). My research in Athens will focus on systems biology and bioengineering.
