ABOUT ME

I’m Charalambos Michalopoulos and I graduated from the University of Athens School of Medicine. I was a specialty registrar at the Paediatrics Department of the Nikaia General Hospital and became a certified paediatrician in 2012.
I have a post-graduate degree in Applied Nutrition and Dietetics (2010) from the Harokopio University Department of Nutrition and Dietetics.

The title of my thesis was “The effect of breastfeeding on bone metabolism markers”.

I have participated in published scientific projects, lectures and papers and attended a number of conferences.
Since 2014, I have worked as a Senior Registrar at the Athens Paediatric Centre (Marousi) and I maintain a private practice in Keratsini.
