Introduction

Molecular neuroscience examines the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying nervous-system development, function, signaling, and disease. The field incorporates approaches from molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, and neuroscience to investigate biological processes at increasingly detailed levels. Research in this area can contribute to understanding the mechanisms associated with neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions.

Academic research assessment commonly combines qualitative evaluation with bibliometric indicators. Citation counts and the h-index are frequently used as complementary measures of scholarly influence, although such metrics do not independently establish the quality or significance of individual research contributions.[3]

Education

Dr. Kretsovali’s academic foundation began with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. She then pursued advanced studies in France, earning a Diplôme d’Études Approfondies (DEA) in Biochemistry from the University of Paris XI, followed by a Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Biochemistry from the University of Paris VII. Furthering her expertise, she completed postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Paris VII and at the Institute of Molecular Biology & Biotechnology in Heraklion, Greece. This combination of foundational scientific education in Greece and specialized research training in France equipped her with the necessary skills to investigate complex molecular and cellular mechanisms. Her international academic background provided her with a strong theoretical base, extensive laboratory experience, and a multidisciplinary perspective on molecular biology, epigenetics, and stem cell research, laying the groundwork for her future achievements as a senior research leader.

Experience

Dr. Kretsovali has had a progressive research career at the Institute of Molecular Biology & Biotechnology (IMBB) within FORTH. She began with a research contract before being appointed as Staff Scientist B, followed by promotion to Staff Scientist A. She then served as Principal Researcher before her appointment as Research Director. Earlier in her career, she worked as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Crete, where she taught undergraduate courses in Biochemistry. Beyond her primary research roles, she has been actively involved in postgraduate education, delivering lectures for various master’s and doctoral programs at the University of Crete and the University of Athens. She has supervised numerous graduate and undergraduate students in laboratory research projects, contributing to both their scientific development and to the advancement of her research programs. Her experience spans molecular biology, stem cell science, epigenetics, and neurodegeneration research.

Research Interest

Dr. Kretsovali’s research focuses on the molecular mechanisms that regulate embryonic stem cell pluripotency, induced pluripotent stem cell reprogramming, and neural stem cell differentiation and survival. Her work examines how transcriptional and epigenetic regulators, as well as signaling pathways, control stem cell fate decisions. Using a combination of gene silencing, genome-wide approaches, proteomics, small molecule interventions, and biomaterials, her team investigates the balance between self-renewal and differentiation. In recent years, she has explored the neuroprotective role of the Promyelocytic Leukemia Protein (PML) in models of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation, particularly in the context of Alzheimer’s disease. Her group also studies synthetic microneurotrophins and their potential in neural repair strategies. This dual focus on stem cell biology and neurodegeneration not only advances fundamental understanding of cell fate regulation but also has potential applications in regenerative medicine and the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
