Georgios Theodoridis

“I studied Chemistry at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. Following my PhD (HPLC of alkaloid drugs, 1994), I studied theoretical aspects of separation sciences (Pardubice University, Czech Republic) and chromatography of taxane drugs (Leiden University, the Netherlands). In 1999, I returned to the Aristotle University as a post-doctoral researcher and worked up through the ranks to Full Professor of analytical chemistry,” says Georgios. But he also has industrial experience, working for AstraZeneca in the UK on the development of metabonomic tools for biomarker discovery and as metabolomics group-leader at IASMA, FEM, Trento, Italy (2009–2010). Georgio’s interests are on the development and validation of analytical methodologies for metabolic profiling and bioanalysis. He has co-authored more than 120 peer reviewed articles and book chapters, and he serves as Editor of J. Chromatography B.
