Stratos Mylonas studied at the Molecular Biology and Genetics Department at the Democritus University of Thrace in Alexandroupolis and conducted his BSc thesis research at the Immunology lab of Prof. Chris D. Platsoucas at the Temple University of Philadelphia. He was accepted at the EMBL International PhD program and joined the lab of Dr. Dmitri Svergun at EMBL Hamburg, Germany focusing on method development and structural analysis of flexible proteins using Small Angle Scattering. After his PhD, he joined the lab of Dr Naoto Yagi at Spring-8, JASRI, Japan working on the structural analysis and simulations of surfactant assemblies, as potential gene delivery systems, and DNA polypods working mostly in collaboration with the group of Prof. Kazuo Sakurai at the University of Kitakyushu. He, then, worked at the lab of Prof. Michael Kokkinidis at IMBB-FORTH in Heraklion, Crete and was involved in several projects including a protein folding model protein, designing enzymes with new specificities, non-coding RNAs and bacterial Type III Secretion Systems. He will soon join the Department of Chemistry at University of Ioannina as an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry. He is interested in the structural analysis of biological macromolecules, combining information from experimental and computational methods for the better understanding of structure-function relations.
