Vasiliki Sapanidou holds a degree in Veterinary Medicine (2009) from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (A.U.Th) and a PhD diploma (2015) from the Laboratory of Physiology of the same Department. In 2023, she fulfilled the requirements for the master’s degree of “Biomedical and molecular sciences in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases” of the Medical School of the Democritus University of Thrace. She has conducted two postdoctoral research studies (2020–2022 and 2023–2025) at the Laboratory of Physiology (Veterinary School, A.U.Th.). She also lectured at both the Veterinary School (A.U.Th.) and the Department of Agriculture at the University of Western Macedonia. In addition, she has over 15 years of clinical experience with both companion and farm animals.

Her main scientific interests include in vitro studies on the effects of antioxidants and hormones on farm animals’ reproductive physiology, bovine in vitro embryo production, cell signaling pathways, and in vivo studies on the impact of antioxidants on hemostasis.
