Biography
Born in 1953 in the city of Paphos ( Cyprus ). He graduated from the College of Medicine and Dentistry at King's College London , shortly afterwards ( 1980 ) began conducting research at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology with Professor Stuart Campbell and Professor Charles Rodek as the first assistant of the latter, performing mainly fetoscopic procedures ( fetal endoscopy ). The Rodek-Nikolaidis team soon released some very important works on the use of fetoscopy in the treatment of a wide range of disorders, such as rhesus isoimmunization , dropsy of the fetus and intrauterine growth retardation , and also developed techniques such as taking blood and tissue samples for the diagnosis of monogenic diseases .
After the departure of Professor Rodeka, Nikolaidis became director of the Fetal Medicine Research Center, the first department of fetal medicine in the UK , and his research and teaching program made King's College Hospital an important center in this field of medicine.
He is the author of more than a thousand articles in scientific journals and more than thirty books and monographs .
