Dr. Irida Palamidi is an Agronomist, graduate of the Department of Animal Science and Aquaculture of the Agricultural University of Athens (2009). She holds an MSc in Nutrition and Feed Technology (2011) and a PhD (2019) from the same institution.
During the period 2020–2022, she conducted postdoctoral research at the Agricultural University of Athens, funded by the State Scholarships Foundation (IKY), focusing on animal nutrition and its effects on gut function and microbial ecology.
She has taught undergraduate courses in animal husbandry, farm animal nutrition, and animal physiology and behavior at the Agricultural University of Athens and the University of Thessaly, as well as in other education programs.
She has participated in research projects related to animal nutrition, gut microbiota, and the valorization of agri-food by-products, while also engaging in knowledge transfer and innovation activities in the field of animal production.
