Eleni Mitoudi-Vagourdi

Dr. Eleni Mitoudi Vagourdi is a Senior Researcher at the Division of Nanobiotechnology, SciLifeLab (Herland Lab), Department of Protein Science, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. She holds an M.Eng. in Chemical Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and an M.Sc. in Microsystems and Nanodevices from the National Technical University of Athens. She obtained her Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry from Stockholm University under the supervision of Professor Mats Johnsson, focusing on the synthesis, structural elucidation, and physicochemical characterization of new low-dimensional materials using X-ray diffraction, IR, Raman, and UV–vis spectroscopy.

Building on her background in functional materials, Dr. Eleni Mitoudi Vagourdi has focused her research on the integration of materials with biomedical systems. After being awarded the International Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Bengt Lundqvist Minne (Swedish Chemical Society), she joined the Bioelectronics Laboratory of Professor George Malliaras at the University of Cambridge as a postdoctoral researcher. Her work was further supported by competitive UK research grants and awards, during which she spent three years developing polymeric biomaterials for bioelectronic and biomedical applications with strong translational potential. Currently, she is a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher in Professor Herland’s Lab at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, where her research focuses on the development of novel microelectrode arrays (MEAs) for long-term monitoring of in vitro and in vivo biological systems.
