Prof. Dionysios Papachristou is a physician and specialized pathologist. He obtained his MD and PhD at the Medical School of the University of Patras,. He had postdoctoral training on bone biology and pathology at the Department of Pathology, University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA (2004-2006), where he also served as full time faculty member (2007-2009). He was a visiting clinician at the Department of Pathology at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA at the Division of Bone Pathology (2006). Currently, Dr. Papachristou is Associate Professor of Anatomy-Histology-Embryology, University of Patras, School of Medicine and Assistant Professor (Adj.) of Pathology at the University of Pittsburgh.

His research interests focus on: 1) the pathogenesis of bone and soft tissue tumors, 2) the pathobiology of metabolic bone diseases and other related conditions, 3) the investigation of the mechanisms of bone metastases. 4) the role of mechanotransduction in bone metabolism 5) Molecular mechanisms of fracture healing

He is member of the International Bone and Mineral Society (IBMS), the European Calcified Tissue Society (ECTS), the American Bone Mineral Society (ABMS), the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR), Greek Society of Pathology. Prof. Papachristou is Vice President of the Hellenic Group of Sarcomas and Rare Cancers (EOSS) and coordinator of the "Bone and Soft Tissue Working Group" of the Hellenic Society of Pathology. 

Dr. Papachristou has published over 90 original articles in high-impact peer reviewed journals in his field and is involved in international collaborations in the area of bone-related sciences.

His research is currently funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 874896 SC1-BHC-07-2019 (SBR) : Regenerative medicine: from new insights to new applications (Participant; co-ordinator Prof. Elias Panagiotopoulos) 

Previous Grants (funding): European Marie Curie FP7-PEOPLE-RG-2009, #256402 Grant and the « KARATHODORI » Research Grant by the University of Patras and Research Grant by the University of Pittsburgh (IRB#612060). He is director of the Unit of Bone and Soft Tissue Studies of the Dept. of Anatomy-Histology-Embryology of the Medical School of the UPatras.
