Brief Bio

Dr. Sotirios Kotsovilis is a Staff Research Scientist focused on Scientific Writing.
He completed his undergraduate studies in Dentistry (Sch. Dentistry, Univ. Athens, 2001). He received an MSc in Oral Biology (Sch. Dentistry, Univ. Athens, 2003), a post-graduate diploma in the clinical specialty of Periodontology (Sch. Dentistry, Univ. Athens, 2006) and a PhD in Medicine (Medical Sch., Univ. Athens, 2010). He worked on the discovery of members of the syndecan family of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in the gingiva of patients with chronic periodontitis in collaboration with BRFAA (Charonis Lab; Clinical, Experimental Surgery, & Translational Research Center). During the period 2010-2015, he completed his post-doctoral studies in BRFAA under the supervision of Dr. Evangelos Andreakos (Andreakos Lab; Clinical, Experimental Surgery, & Translational Research Center) by performing a characterization of the apolipoprotein E-deficient mouse model, which currently is the most widely used animal model of atherosclerosis.
He has published approximately 40 articles in international and Greek peer-reviewed journals and books. He has attended more than 250 international and Greek congresses, workshops and seminars, participating in several oral and poster presentations. As a reviewer, he has reviewed articles for 7 peer-reviewed journals, as well as books.
In his current position as a Staff Research Scientist, Dr. Kotsovilis will support investigation conducted in BRFAA from the aspect of Scientific Writing. His vision is to reinforce the promotion of the research work of BRFAA in Greece and abroad.
