SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS (peer-reviewed journals)

Dr Alexandra K. Papadopoulou has authored several publications in scientific journals as first author, and co-author and led a significant number of projects (last, leading and corresponding author, being responsible for the coordination as well as the submission and peer-review processes and procedures of the projects) within the participating research groups.

The quality of all listed publications has been judged and assessed by external referees anonymously and blinded to the authors prior to publication, which is common practice in scientific journals of high impact factor, before any research results are disseminated in the scientific community.
