Dr. Athanasios Papadopoulos is Professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences and Dietetics since 2006. His scientific Interests focus on the topic of Bioinorganic Chemistry. More specifically, he is working in metall complexes with pesticides, anti-microbial and NSAID’s, as ligands. The novel compounds are characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticoagular activity is also evaluated.

He has organized a large numerous of International and national scientific conferences.
