Dr. Dimitrios Kouroupis is an expert in MSC biology and their potential clinical applications in regenerative medicine. Throughout his career, he has in depth studied various Cellular Biology and Regenerative Medicine scientific aspects in relationship with cell-based therapeutic approaches for the treatment of pathological conditions. The development of off-the-shelf novel stem cell therapies and the generation of innovative stem cell- based therapeutic implants are among his major priorities. Up to date, his research work on Regenerative Medicine and Tissue engineering fields have yielded multiple important publications in high impact factor peer-reviewed journals and podium presentations in international conferences and translated into funding from both EU/UK/USA public and private sources. Furthermore, his research is focused on strengthening our understanding of the intricate underlying biology of Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) in order to support the development of standardized and reproducible pre-clinical protocols, expanding the potential therapeutic application of MSC to various pathological conditions. Consequently, his laboratory contributes with efforts to bring closer basic science and cell-based product manufacturing techniques to potential clinical protocols.
