Vasileios is working on a project aiming to investigate the associations between circulating vitamin K biomarkers — including phylloquinone, menaquinone-7, and dephosphorylated uncarboxylated Matrix Gla Protein (dp-ucMGP) — and cardiovascular disease risk factors, using data from the Inter99 20-year follow-up study cohort.
