Eleni Friligkou, MD, MSc

Dr. Friligkou is a post-doctoral research associate in psychiatric genetics, working in Dr. Polimanti's lab. She mainly focuses on the genetic structures shared by different psychiatric pathologies and the genetic mechanisms that foster heterogeneity within specific disorders. Using a range of computational tools, she examines large volumes of genomic data, electronic health records, and other patient-related information to find answers to these questions.

After graduating from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki with a Medical Degree, Dr. Friligkou worked as a rural doctor and psychiatry intern at Leros General Hospital for two years. She later obtained an MSc in Health Data Analysis from the same university. She intends to pursue a Psychiatry Residency in the United States to further her interests in clinical practice and research.
