Biography

Dr. Ioannis Delimaris is a Scientific Collaborator (Researcher) at the Center for Instruction, Research, and Technology (C.I.R.T.), Metropolitan College, Athens, Greece. He is a health professional in Greece (biologist and certified clinical biochemist) and a human nutrition researcher. He holds a bachelor's degree in Biology from NKUA, a master's degree in Clinical Chemistry from NKUA (grade excellent), a doctorate degree (PhD) in Medicine (Clinical Biochemistry) from NKUA (grade excellent), an annual certificate of teaching proficiency (PGCE) from ASPAITE University, Greece (grade excellent) and a post-doctorate certificate (4 years) in Human Biology and Nutrition Education from the University of Thessaly, Greece. He has trained at various Greek hospitals (General Hospital of Rhodes, 401 General Military Hospital of Athens, Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center of Athens, University General Hospital Attikon), at the Medical School of the University of Athens (Department of Biological Chemistry) and at the National Center of Scientific Research "Demokritos", Athens, Greece (Laboratory of "DNA Repair"). He is a registered adult educator in the disciplines ''food  siences & nutrition'' and ''health sciences'' at the Training and Lifelong Learning Center (TLLC) of the Democritus University of Thrace, Greece (D.U.Th.), the University of Western Macedonia, Greece (UoW), the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), and the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU).
