Miss Ifigeneia Kalampouka


My passion is to keep exploring the human as a micro-environment, it's interactive macro-environmental stressors and I seek to link biological aspects of life with quantum phenomena. As a researcher, my enthusiasm is gathered around the impact and applications of multidisciplinary science to real world and I engage with translational science communication


My research interests is an intersection of biophysics, cell biology, and translational medicine, with a particular focus on light-based mechanisms and their therapeutic potential. These include:

1. Biophotons and photobiomodulation - specifically how living systems produce and interact with light at the cellular level, with particular interest in mitochondrial photon production

2. Quantum biology - investigating potential quantum effects (eg. light and earths magnetic fields) in biological systems and non-chemical modes of cellular communication

3. Aging biology and cellular senescence - studying the fundamental processes of aging, particularly oxidative stress and how cells enter senescent states

4. Therapeutic applications - exploring non-invasive treatment approaches for cancer and other diseases, likely leveraging your understanding of photobiomodulation and quantum effects

5. Systems biology - looking at both molecular pathways and systemic effects, suggesting an interest in how these mechanisms integrate across different scales of biological organization
