Fanos Tsingis

Fanos Tsingis obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Leicester in 2020. He then pursued a Master’s degree in Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Glasgow, where he graduated in 2021. His thesis, conducted in the Köhnke group, involved in-silico methodologies to identify potential anti-tubercular agents by targeting the MmpL10 and AbieEi_1 proteins unique to M. tuberculosis. Following his studies, Fanos joined the pharmaceutical sector as an R&D Associate at Medochemie, where he focused on developing analytical methods and in vitro dissolution testing of generic drug products.

Fanos has joined the Verwilst Lab in 2024 and his project involves the exploration and development of novel allosteric modulators for CCR5 signalling, through an integrated approach combining computational and synthetic methods.
Co-promotor: Prof. Arnout Voet (KUL).
