Marietta Papadatou-Pastou graduated from the Department of Psychology of the Panteion University, Athens, Greece. She further holds an MSc in Research Methods in Psychology (awarded with distinction) and a DPhil in Neuropsychology (full scholarship), both from the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, UK. In 2014, Dr Papadatou-Pastou joined the faculty of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens as a Lecturer in “Neuropsychology and Language Functions” and in 2019 she became Assistant Professor. She is also an Affiliated Investigator of the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens. She is a Research Collaborator of the Cognition and Health Research Group affiliated with the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, since 2014. Moreover, Dr. Papadatou-Pastou is an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS), a Chartered Psychologist by the BPS, and a Chartered Scientist by the BPS and the Science Council UK. She served as the Secretary General for the Hellenic Psychological Society (HPS; 2017-2019) and she is a co-director of the Neuropsychology Branch of the HPS since 2017. Dr Papadatou-Pastou’s research interests include various aspects of neuropsychology, as well as cognitive neuroscience and experimental psychology. Her work focuses on handedness and brain lateralization, using behavioral and brain imaging techniques (functional transcranial Doppler ultrasound [fTCD] and functional magnetic resonance imaging [fMRI]), in healthy individuals as well as populations with special education needs (students with dyslexia, hearing impaired students, students with low or high IQ and individuals with autism spectrum disorder). At the moment she is particularly interested in cerebral lateralization of written language, and she has secured a Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (H.F.R.I.) grant to fund this line of inquiry. Dr Papadatou-Pastou is a member of the Consortium on Language Asymmetry (COLA). She has also worked in neuropsychopharmacology, using functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural and behavioral effects of antidepressant drug action and of mood induction on autobiographical memory. She is further interested in meta-science, with a special focus on meta-analysis. Moreover, Dr Papadatou-Pastou is a member of the Psychological Science Accelerator (PSA), where she has served as an Assistant Director for the Ethics Review Committee. Last but not least, she is interested in science outreach.
