Short Bio
- Dr. Lymperopoulos`s career started by earning M.Sc. in Medicinal Chemistry followed by Ph.D. in Pharmacology, after graduating from the School of Pharmacy of the University of Patras in his home country Greece. Its major turning point was in 2004, when he joined the lab of Dr. Walter Koch at Thomas Jefferson University (at the time), a former postdoctoral fellow of Nobel laureate Professor Robert Lefkowitz`s. After a successful 5-year-long postdoctoral tenure in Wally`s lab, he moved on to an independent faculty position (associate professor now) at Nova Southeastern University in 2009. Since then, Dr. Lymperopoulos has had several successes, awards, and honors, most prominent among which elections as Fellow of the American Heart Association (FAHA) with its Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences (BCVS) and as Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology (FESC), as well as a 5-year Scientist Development Grant award from the American Heart Association (AHA). Dr. Lymperopoulos is currently NIH-funded and has been a finalist for the AHA-sponsored Melvin L. Marcus Young Investigator Award in Basic Cardiovascular Sciences, and for the Cardiovascular Research Award of the Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in the past. He also holds one issued patent in the US (2019) and his present h-index is 34 with >4,500 total citations.
