KONSTANTINOS MAVROMMATIS (MAVROMATIS) Ph.D.KONSTANTINOS MAVROMMATIS (MAVROMATIS) Ph.D.
Konstantinos Mavrommatis received his Degree in Biology from the Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. He studied protein - ligand structural interactions using the sugar binding protein Concanavalin A as a model in the group of Prof. S.Hamodrakas.
He received his Masters in Biotechnology and his Ph.D in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine from the University of Crete, Greece, where he was member of the Molecular Biotechnology laboratory group supervised by Prof. V.Bouriotis. His main project focused on molecular adaptation at extreme temperatures.
He has acquired expertise in biochemical
and computational study of proteins and protein structures.
He joined JGI in 2004 and
participates in comparative genomic and metagenomic analysis projects.
