She subsequently joined the Medical School, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, where she is currently Professor of Experimental Pharmacology and coordinates the Immunopharmacology group.
During the last 25 years she has focused her research on inflammatory and immune-related processes, with particular interest in the functional role of histamine and histamine receptors in human pathophysiology. Her other areas of interest include the cellular stress response and drug hypersensitivity reactions. She has published over 100 peer reviewed papers and 10 book chapters. She has an extensive experience in teaching undergraduate and postgraduate medical and dental students and in training and supervising young researchers. She is currently Council Officer of the European Histamine Research Society, Treasurer of the IUPHAR Immunopharmacology Section and Observer in the Rheumatology-Immunology Working Party of the European Medicines Agency.
