Introductory Information
The Laboratory of Genetics began its operation in 1989, initially unified with the Laboratory of Medical Biology, following the election of the then Lecturer, Mr. Theodoros Lialiaris. Until 2002, the Laboratory of Medical Biology and Genetics operated as a single entity for both teaching and research, delivering courses and laboratory sessions in Medical Biology and Genetics to undergraduate medical students. Since 2002, it has operated as an autonomous laboratory, providing teaching, clinical-laboratory, and research work. The Laboratory of Genetics is integrated into the organizational structure of the University General Hospital of Alexandroupolis, providing genetic services to patients and examinees.

Research
The Laboratory of Genetics focuses on the following research interests:
The Laboratory of Genetics focuses on the following research interests:
- Identification of genetic variants and study of pathogenic mechanisms of genes responsible for rare human diseases.
- Application of the Sister Chromatid Exchanges (SCEs) method as a predictive test for chromosomal fragility in patients with or without cancer.
- Testing of environmental mutagenic or carcinogenic substances.
The results of the above studies are included in presentations and publications in various conferences and scientific journals, in collaboration with other Laboratories and Clinics of DUTH and other institutions.
