Proper Citation: University of Athens Biophysics and Bioinformatics Laboratory (RRID:SCR_006180)

Description: Laboratory focuses on research related to the elucidation of the principles governing protein structure and function, under the supervision of Professor Stavros J. Hamodrakas. In particular, original research is carried out along two main axes: # Algorithm development for the prediction of protein structure, function and interactions from amino acid sequence as well as construction of relevant databases. # Application of a variety of Biophysical methods and techniques for protein structure determination and for structural studies of complex, physiologically important, Biological tissues such as insect chorion and cuticle. More than 15 individuals (including post-doctoral researchers, PhD students, MSc and undergraduate students) are currently involved in several ongoing research projects. Apart from research, our lab offers undergraduate courses in Bioinformatics and Molecular Biophysics, which are elective for the degrees (BSc) in Biology (Faculty of Biology) and Physics (Faculty of Physics) of the University of Athens. At the same time, our lab is actively involved in the organization and co-ordination of the MSc Programme in Bioinformatics of the Faculty of Biology.
