Dr. Eleni Tsiplakou is an Associate Professor at the Department of Animal Science, where she is teaching Ruminants Nutrition. She received her BSc. MSc. and PhD in Animal Nutrition from the Agricultural University of Athens and she conducted post-doctoral research at Reading University and at the Agricultural University of Athens. She has published so far, 66 research papers in peer reviewed journals and 104 abstracts in national and international conferences. She was principal investigator in 4 research projects and has participation in 23 Research projects 5 of which are funded by the EU.

• Gas chromatography for the determination of fatty acids in biological samples (milk, meat, blood, adipose tissue, liver, animal feed, pasture, microalgae, etc.) of ruminants
• Molecular RNA isolation techniques from biological samples (secretory breast cells, adipose tissue, liver, etc.) for the determination of gene expression by RT-PCR in ruminants
• Molecular DNA isolation techniques from ruminal fluid to identify and count the number of microorganisms in the rumen by RT-PCR
• Determination of enzyme activity in milk, blood and rumianal fluid
