Dr Irene Georgiou
After graduating from the University of Cyprus, I moved to Durham to pursue my postgraduate studies under the supervision of Prof. Andy Whiting. During this time I worked on the synthesis and application of aminoboronic acids as organocatalysts. Following completion of my PhD studies I joined Prof. Davide Bonifazis group at the University of Namur (Belgium), investigating the use of boronic acids as building blocks in supramolecular chemistry. I then returned to the UK, at the University of Nottingham as a postdoctoral fellow, working with Prof. Rob Stockman and Prof. Chris Moody. My research aimed in the synthesis of chemical scaffolds for the IMI European Lead Factory project. In May 2017, I began work under the supervision of Prof Angela Russell and Prof Steve Davies, as part of the OxStem Cardio-funded research programme.
