Personal Info
Dr. Anastasia Tampakaki has graduated from University of Crete, Greece, with a degree in Biology in 1991. She holds a Ph.D. degree (1999) in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology and a M.Sc. degree (1993) in Molecular Biology from the Department of Biology of the University of Crete. During the period 1999-2001, she worked as Research Fellow in the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of the Foundation for Research and Technology (FORTH) in Greece. She worked as a postdoctoral researcher (2001-2002) at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. She worked as Research Associate in the Department of Biology, University of Crete, Greece (2003-2005) and Technological Institute of Crete, Greece (2002-2006). Since 2006, she has been a Faculty Member of the Agricultural University of Athens. Currently, she is Associate Professor in Molecular Microbiology in the Department of Crop Science at the Agricultural University of Athens where she is teaching and conducting research in the areas of molecular microbiology, microbial biotechnology, environmental microbiology, molecular systematics and plant-microbe interactions. She is highly experienced in state of the art technologies for the molecular and biochemical study of microbes. Her research specializes in understanding the molecular and biochemical mechanisms underlying the interactions of symbiotic and plant pathogenic bacteria with plants, with an emphasis on the type III secretion system of bacteria, in the development of bioinoculants for disease control and crop improvement, in the development of diagnostic tools for microbial identification, in the molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of plant-associated bacteria (rhizobia and plant-growth promoting bacteria), and in the genomic and metagenomic analysis of plant microbiomes.
