Charikleia Karageorgiou
Mia thalassa mikri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Charikleia received a BSc in Biomedicine from University of East Anglia and two MSc in Advanced Genetics and Bioinformatics from Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. She is soon to defend her PhD thesis conducted at UAB, studying polymorphic inversions in Drosophila subobscura. Charikleia is currently a Postdoctoral fellow in EvoLab at ICS-FORTH, where she is working with wild goats, fruit flies and human DNA samples in an effort to understand the processes that shape genetic variation. She is particularly interested in evolutionary and population genomics, and aspires to further investigate the interaction between recombination, structural variants and evolutionary forces.
In her leisure time she pretends to be our lab manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angeliki Papadopoulou<\/strong>, MBB MSc Student<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a Biology graduate from the University of Athens, currently studying in the \u2018Molecular Biology and Biomedicine\u2019 MSc program at the University of Crete. My scientific interests focus on population genetics, particularly on understanding human population structure and genetic admixture. Presently, I\u2019m involved in ancient DNA studies, investigating the evolutionary history of present-day populations, attempting as well to address and challenge biases and pitfalls in dimensionality reduction methodologies. Other than the lab, you can often find me in some gorge, enjoying tranquility and the Cretan nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
