Vassiliki Nikoletopoulou 11th International Symposium on Autophagy 2025

Vassiliki Nikoletopoulou

Vassiliki obtained her Ph.D. in Neurosciences from the University of Basel, in the lab of Yves-Alain Barde, studying instructive functions of neurotrophin receptors during CNS and PNS development. She then joined the lab of Nektarios Tavernarakis at the IMBB in Greece, where she investigated conserved cellular mechanisms of stress-response and hormesis in neurons, combining C. elegans and mouse genetics. Funded by a Marie-Curie career restart grant, she studied the regulation of autophagy in the mammalian brain and in 2017 she established her lab with an ERC starting grant. She joined the DNF in 2019, where she's currently an Associate Professor.
