Overview

George Dedoussis is affiliated with Harokopio University in Greece. Their scholarly work centers on biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, medicine, immunology, and microbiology. The research focus spans several significant subfields including genetics, immunology, molecular biology, neurology, and epidemiology.

The scientist has contributed to topics such as genetic associations and epidemiology, bioinformatics and genomic networks, Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments, immune cell function and interaction, IL-33, ST2, and ILC pathways, adipokines, inflammation and metabolic diseases, and regulation of appetite and obesity.

Among recent publications, the following papers stand out:

  • Genetic identification of cell types underlying brain complex traits yields insights into the etiology of Parkinson's disease (2020) published in Nature Genetics
  • Genome-wide association study of circulating interleukin 6 levels identifies novel loci (2021) published in Human Molecular Genetics
  • Obesity status modifies the association between rs7556897T>C in the intergenic region SLC19A3-CCL20 and blood pressure in French children (2020) published in Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM)

Frequent coauthors with whom George Dedoussis has collaborated include:

  • Julien Bryois
  • Sophie Visvikis-Siest
  • Nathan Skene
  • Lisette J. A. Kogelman
  • Hunna J. Watson
