Fourkiotis K. Nikolaos is an MSc. student, at the Department of Pharmacy, holding a BSc degree of Pharmacy from the University of Patras. He performed his Diploma Thesis with the group of Biomolecular Simulation and NMR spectroscopy, at the University of Patras, in 2018. Having obtained his BSc in 2019, he entered the Postgraduate Studies Program, Drug Discovery and Development of Department of Pharmacy, and he keeps on performing his graduate research activities with the same group in the framework of a Master Thesis, under the supervision of Dr. G.A. Spyroulias. He is currently working on expression, purification and characterization of recombinant polypeptides, more specific of human and viral macro domains, for NMR characterization. Also, he participates as a member to the Covid-19-NMR consortium. (https://covid19-nmr.de/)
