My name is Ageliki Gerovassili and in 2001, I graduated from the Department of Molecular Genetics, University of King’s College London with Honours. In 2002, I completed my master’s degree in “Prenatal Genetics and Fetal medicine” at University College London. In 2007 I received my PhD in Genetics from King’s College London, University of London, by investigating the non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of aneuploidies and monogenic diseases, funded by the Fetal Medicine Center and supervised by Professor Kypros Nicolaides.
In collaboration with Professor Dennis Lo (the scientist who discovered free fetal DNA) we presented new findings published in some of the most reputable and prestigious journals. Having completed my studies on ethics, philosophy and religious dissertation, I was elected Associate of King’s College. I was retrained in Genetic Counseling from the European Genetics Foundation. I am an adjunct lecturer in postgraduate scientific degrees of the Medical School of the University of Thessaly and the undergraduate dregrees of the Departments of Medical Laboratory and Nursing at the Technological Institution of Thessaly since 2007.
