Panagiota Kontou received her B.Sc. in Computer Science and Biomedical Informatics (2009) at University of Central Greece, her MSc in Bioinformatics (2011) from the Department of Cell Biology and Biophysics, Faculty of Biology at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and her Ph.D. degree in Bioinformatics (2016) from the Department of Computer Science and Biomedical Informatics at University of Thessaly. For her postdoctoral research she received two scholarships from State Scholarship Foundation fellowship for post-doctoral studies. Her research interests include: Meta-analysis, Genetic epidemiology, Gene Expression data analysis, Graph Theory, Bioinformatics and Biostatistics. Results of her research work are published in 32 peer reviewed journals, in proceedings of 44 national conferences and 4 international conferences. She participated in 9 research projects from 2011 till now. She has authored 3 chapters in collective volumes and is the co-author of a scientific book. She has taught a variety of courses at the University of Thessaly and at the Hellenic Army Academy. She is a referee for scientific journals of the field.
