Artemis G. Hatzigeorgiou studied Computer Science at the University of Stuttgart and got her PhD in Molecular Biology from the Department of Biology and Pharmacy at the University of Jena in 2001. During 2001-2007, she was Assistant Professor of Bioinformatics at the University of Pennsylvania, with a joined appointment at the Department of Genetics and secondary appointment at the Department of Computer and Information Science (CIS) at the Engineering School. From 2007 to 2012 she joined the Institute of Molecular Oncology at the Biomedical Sciences Research Center “Alexander Fleming” as Principal Investigator. During 2012-2019 she became Professor of Bioinformatics at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Thessaly, and taught Bioinformatics and Algorithms in Molecular Biology at the MSc “Information Technologies in Medicine and Biology” from the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Since 2015, she is a Collaborating Professor at the Hellenic Pasteur Institute, while in 2019 she was elected a Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Biomedical Informatics at the University of Thessaly. Her research interests lie in the areas of computational biology, gene expression and regulation analyses and machine learning. She has published in top tier journals as Nature, Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, American Journal of Human Genetics, Genes and Development, Nature Methods and Genome Research. Her works have been cited more than 18,000 times (h-index 49) according to Google Scholar (2020). She has served as a reviewer panelist for the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute (UK), the National Science Foundation (NSF-USA), the National Institute of Health (NIH-USA), the European Union (FP7, CONNECT) and the Greek Secretary of Research and Technology. She is currently President of the Hellenic Society for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (HSCBB) and she was the chair of the 17^th European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB18).
