Managed to increase event attendance through effective marketing strategies and targeted outreach efforts. Designed an engaging and relevant to the field of biology program. Coordinated accommodation for all participants and got in touch with sponsors, ensuring smooth functioning of the conference.

An internship at the Histology and Embryology Laboratory, under the supervision of Prof. V. Gorgoulis was my first contact with biological research. There I conducted literature reviews to identify relevant research articles and support project objectives. I received advanced knowledge on cellular senescence and melanoma cancer research. I was able to work independently performing immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry staining.
