Tzortzis Nomikos

Associate Professor - Biochemistry (Biochemical analysis – Enzymes of lipid metabolism)

Expert

The subject of his research falls into the broader field of nutritional biochemistry and focuses on two main areas. The first one investigates the effect of diet on platelet function and chronic diseases. He focuses mainly on the effect of postprandial dysmetabolism on platelet functions. My second area of his interest is the effect of diet on exercise-induced muscle damage, as a very attractive model of oxidative stress and inflammation in humans.
