About
Christina Zioga is a medical doctor currently working as a consultant Cytopathologist at the "G. Papanikolaou" General Hospital of Thessaloniki, Greece. She is fascinated by new developments in Science Communication, is a certified lifeguard and a passionate first-aid instructor. It was those first-aid training sessions that led to the conception of the idea of the Diagnostic Medicine ABCDE algorithm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8LWR6GxZN0&t=37s). Her extensive experience working as a Pathology Laboratory Technician (Bachelor’s Degree in Medical Laboratory Science from the International Hellenic University - summa cum laude) led her to choose a Cytopathology residency after the completion of her studies in Medicine at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. During her residency, she served on the IT team of the Hellenic Society of Clinical Cytology where she conceived and launched the teleconference series for the HSCC, a distance learning endeavour that delivers continuous medical education in Cytology throughout Greece. She has also acquired a Master of Science Degree in Medical Informatics from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. In November 2018, she received a travel award from the Digital Pathology Association. She has also appeared in consecutive Power Lists as compiled by the medical journal "The Pathologist" for the years 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. Christina has been an active member of several non-profit organisations and volunteers with the Hellenic Union of Search and Rescue. Her goals include raising her children and strengthening Cytopathology as a leader in contemporary medicine.
Hi Alzheimer community! A new goal has been added to my life since my mother was diagnosed with the disease recently. I have served for several years at Aegee’s WGs in the past and I was thrilled to accept being part of the EDCWG. I do believe in community support and collaboration to make a difference to the lives of those affected and the lives of caregivers.
Christina was nominated by the Greek Association of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders "Alzheimer Hellas”.
