Vassilios NASTOPOULOS

Assistant Professor (X-ray Crystallography)

Diploma  in Chemistry :

University of Patras, Patras, Greece (1979).

Ph.D in Chemistry :

University of Patras, Patras, Greece (1987).

His main research activities focus in the area of X-ray crystallography of biological macromolecules and small molecules. Other activities involve protein crystal growth and crystallographic computing. Collaboration also exists with any member of the Department and abroad who may have any interesting molecular structural problem.
