LOCUS-MEDICUS’s contribution to the Greek and International scientific community is proven in practice with more than 20 international (and 8 Greek) publications in reputable scientific journals and with more than 30 participations in Greek and international scientific conferences (3 conference awards).

Also, the extensive research activity of LOCUS-MEDICUS laboratories includes a large number of scientific collaborations in diagnostic and research level with international organizations and Greek Universities, Institutions and Hospitals. Indicatively, some of the most important research collaborations of the last years are mentioned:

WHO (World Health Organization): Establishment of the Global Laboratory Network for the detection and standardization of HPV.

WHO: Evaluation of CMV Molecular Analyses.

WHO: Evaluation of EBV Molecular Analyses.

Medical School of the University of Athens and the Hospital “SOTIRIA”: “Study of the expression of indicators of natural immunity in patients with tuberculosis” and “Molecular study of the analysis of Mycobacterium genotypes in Greece”.

University of Thrace, Alexandroupolis Hospital, Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center and University of Athens: “Association between chlamydia and herpes viruses with the occurrence of myocarditis”.

University of Thessaly, Theageneio Cancer Hospital and University of Athens: “Comparison of HPV genotyping methods in Greece”.

Athens Ophthalmology Clinic and Athens General State Hospital: “Association of LOXL1 gene polymorphisms in Greek patients with Pseudo-exfoliative Syndrome”.

Series of research protocols with the Hospitals of Evangelismos, Voula and Children “Aglaia Kyriakou”.

Finally, the company LOCUS-MEDICUS supports the young Greek scientists by making available to them both the material and technical infrastructure of its laboratories, as well as the know-how of its executives. In practice this corresponds to:

Direct participation in 7 Doctoral dissertations of young scientists.

3 Masters of postgraduate students (One with distinction and monetary prize).

2 Placement of students from Universities of Great Britain.

Invitations of LOCUS MEDICUS scientists for development of lectures in more than 60 scientific meetings of postgraduate level.

A large number of internships for graduates of universities and technical institutes.

Quality, safety and innovation lead the company to long-term benefits, which are always more important than the short-term ones.

It should be noted that to date, all the investments of the company LOCUS MEDICUS AIE have been achieved with own funds, as well as with financial State and European support from the Regional Operational Programs 3rd CSF and NSRF 2007-2013 for the support of Small and Very Small Enterprises of the Tertiary Sector for service activities.
