Professor Apostolopoulos will answer questions such as: What are these viruses? Why are there all these outbreaks? and What do we know so far?

During the seminar, the Professor will also discuss what is known and what’s next. 

“We are extremely lucky to have our Patron Professor Apostolopoulos to update us on these important health issues, knowing the pressures she has juggling a demanding career and a family,” the Founder and Chair of The Food for Thought Network, Varvara Athanasiou-Ioannou, said.

“It is an honour to have Professor Apostolopoulos as our patron in light of her global and valuable contribution to the field of science.

“The human values that govern her and her dedication to the family institution are in line with the values of our network. Vasso represents the ultimate role model for our young women.”
