He has completed four years of postdoctoral studies at Northwestern University in Chicago, USA, and at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He has over 20 years of experience in clinical practice in intensive care medicine. He is the author of more than 70 original articles published in peer-review journals, with a total impact factor of 314,764 and 3042 total citations. He is the author of five medical books in Greek. During the last ten years he has supervised 14 doctoral theses. Among various greek and international societies, he is a member of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, European Society of Epidemiology and Preventive Cardiology, Cardiopulmonary and Critical Care Council – American Heart Association, International Society for Education & Research on Exercise Intolerance (EISEREI), National Council of Transplantation (National Transplant Organization, EOM). He is also a member of the National Committee on Bioethics and Deontology of the Orthodox Church of Greece. His main research interests are: the mechanical support of the circulatory system, heart failure, cardiopulmonary exercise testing and rehabilitation in CHF patients sepsis and microcirculation, infections (VAP, acalculous cholecystitis, etc.), sedation in ICU, and polyneuromyopathy of critically ill patients (pathophysiology, prevention and treatment).
