Biography
Dr Katsamenis is a materials scientist (BSc, MSc) with a PhD in bioengineering and has >15 years of experience in biomedical imaging research. He holds a Lecturership in Biomedical Imaging within the faculties of Engineering and Physical Science (FEPS) and Medicine (FoM) and leads the Biomedical Imaging and stream at the
Dr Katsamenis has a particular interest in 渭CT imaging for histology applications and has worked in this field since 2015 in close collaboration with colleagues from the Biomedical Imaging Unit.
Career history
Dr Katsamenis obtained his BSc degree in Materials Science from the University of Patras, (Materials Science Department, University of Patras, Hellas) in 2007 focusing on the preparation and characterisation of calcium phosphate bone cements. Following this, he was awarded the University of Patras鈥 鈥淜aratheodori Basic Research Program鈥 scholarship to conduct his MSc, which was conducted in the same department. His MSc research project focused on the mechanical and physicochemical characterization of degenerated human menisci by means of mechanical testing, spectroscopy and imaging.
In October 2009 he moved to the UK and joined the Bioengineering Sciences research group at the 黑料社 where he completed his PhD. He obtained his PhD degree in 2012, studying the nano- and micro-mechanical behaviour, the structure, and the composition of cortical bone tissue. In 2012 he was awarded the EPSRC鈥檚 Doctoral Prize Award for a research project entitled "Osteopontin Adhesion Properties on Biomedical Relevant Surfaces - Towards Biomimetic Glues with Molecular Self-Healing Properties for Application in the Life Sciences".
Since August 2013 he works as beamline scientist at the 碌-VIS X-Ray Imaging Centre where he has a leading role in the centre's biomedicla imaging portfolio.
In 2015 -2017 as part of a Wellcome Trust Pathfinder Award he developed novel 渭CT imaging protocols for lung-tissue biopsies using the world鈥檚 first 渭CT scanner for clinical histology (Nikon Med-X prototype), which was developed in the University of Southamtpon in collaboration with Nikon X-Tek Systems Ltd. In 2019 he started working on the second phase of development (2019-2022; 拢1.14M; WellcomeTrust), focusing on hardware optimisation and clinical integration of 3D X-ray Histology. In Jan. 2020 he commissioned the new custom-designed 渭CT scanner optimised for 3D X-ray Histology.
