Research Group of Bioinformatics in Genomics

This group is headed by Dr. G.  Amoutzias. The group carries out research into Genomics, Proteomics, Molecular Networks and Evolution, by integrating data from various sources, analysing them with bioinformatics and statistical tools and thus extracting knowledge from noisy raw data.

Dr. Grigorios Amoutzias, Lecturer of Bioinformatics in Genomics. He has a first degree in Biology (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), MRes in Bioinformatics (Leeds University, UK), PhD in Bioinformatics (The University of Manchester, UK) and was an EMBO Long-term postdoctoral fellow. His main research interests include 1) Evolution of genes, genomes and molecular networks, 2) Properties of phosphoproteomes, 3) Analysis of Next-Generation Sequencing data. He is the author of 26 articles in peer reviewed journals and 2 chapters in books. He will work closely with the BIOPLANET group for the bioinformatics analysis of the genomic data for the pesticide-degrading bacteria
