About Christos Papadelis
Christos is the Assistant Vice President of Neuroscience Research at Cook Children's Health Care System, a Professor of Research in Bioengineering and Director of the Pediatric Brain Health and Neurosciences Center at the University of Texas at Arlington, and a Professor of Pediatrics in the Burnett School of Medicine at Texas Christian University. He has more than 20 years of experience in magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) technology with both adults and children.
He has received the Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1998, and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Medical Informatics, in 2001 and 2005 respectively, from the same institute. After his Ph.D. graduation, he worked as Research Scientist at Brain Science Institute of RIKEN, Japan, from 2005 to 2008, and as Post-Doc Research Fellow in the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences, Italy, from 2008 to 2011. Back in 2011, he joined Harvard Medical School (HMS) and Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) as an Instructor in Neurology and Manager of the BabyMEG facility, one of the very few MEG laboratories in the world fully dedicated to pediatric research. In 2015, Christos was promoted to Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at HMS and initiated the Clinical MEG Program at BCH. In 2019, Christos joined Cook Children's Health Care System in order to build the research center for neurosciences as its Founding Director.
Christos’ research covers a broad range of studies in neuroscience, clinical neurophysiology, and biomedical engineering. He has >100 peer-reviewed research investigation articles, two patents, and numerous articles in conference proceedings. In more than half of these papers he is either first or last author. Some of his papers are published in top-tier scientific journals such as Brain, Nature Digital Medicine, and Annals of Neurology and his research has been cited >6,000 times. Christos is an Academic Editor in Scientific Reports and PLoS One, ad-hoc reviewer in >50 journals, as well as guest editor in special issues of his field. Several figures of his work have been selected as covers for scientific journals. He has received funding of more than $7M from the NINDS, the NICHD, the American Epilepsy Society, the European Union, the HMS, the BCH, the Cook Children's Health Foundation, the pharmaceutical industry, and private donors. Dr. Papadelis has been invited to present his work in numerous conferences and scientific meetings all over the world.
