ABOUT/BIOGRAPHY

BSc in Chemistry (University of Crete, 2016); MSc in Drug discovery and Medicinal Chemistry (University of Birmingham, 2017).

Eleana worked on cyclodextrin derivatives for antimicrobial applications. Specifically, she prepared derivatives that were active against highly resistant bacterial strains that produced metallo-β-lactamases. The derivatives were combined with suitable β-lactam antibiotics and the effectiveness of the combined treatment was successfully demonstrated in vitro. Eleana also worked on the preparation of derivatives that could block bacterial toxin pores. Currently, she is employed in the private sector.
