Dr Eleni Douni Dr Douni received her PhD in Molecular Genetics from the Biology Department of the University of Athens in collaboration with the Hellenic Pasteur Institute, trained in mouse genetic engineering through the generation and analysis of transgenic mice as models of human diseases. Her current research interests are focused on the identification and characterization of novel disease targets by modeling human diseases affecting the immune, skeletal, or nervous systems, using both Forward and Reverse Genetics approaches in mice for the application of novel therapies.
