Christos obtained a BSc (Hons) in Genetics from the University of Sussex in 2019. He completed an MSc in Human Molecular Genetics at Imperial College London in 2020, where his final project in the Lovell-Badge lab at the Francis Crick Institute focused on the transcription factor FOXL2 in craniofacial development and adult pituitary hormonal lineage specification.

Staying at the Crick, Christos then worked as a Laboratory Research Officer with the Briscoe lab, where he studied the molecular mechanisms of how cis regulatory elements work to direct gene expression in the developing spinal cord.

In 2022, Christos joined the Metzis lab in collaboration with Di Giovanni and Vaquerizas labs at Imperial College London as a SAMURII PhD student, focusing on spinal cord injury repair mechanisms and regionalisation mechanisms driven by CDX during neural crest diversification.
