He moved to the University of Manchester in the Laboratory of Plant Science with emphasis on the genetic manipulation of the chloroplast genome. Dr. Madesis held the scholarships a) Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Manchester, b) Greek State Institute Scholarship. In 2004, he was given a postdoctoral position in the Laboratory of Plant sciences, UoM. Since October 2008 he has been a Researcher in the Institute of Applied Biosciences (INAB/CERTH). In 2020 he became an Ass. Professor in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology in the University of Thessaly. His scientific interests focus on understanding the basic molecular mechanisms of plants under biotic and abiotic stress conditions, Plant Breeding, he utilizes novel methodologies like genetics and genomics and other “omics” technologies. He is working on plant genotyping and biodiversity assessment through plant species identification, these studies have allowed him to develop a novel methodology for plant species identification, and also the traceability and detection of possible fraud in commercial products.
