Konstantinos is a Paediatric Infectious Diseases consultant and an honorary Clinical Lecturer at St George’s University of London. His research interests are in the epidemiology of vaccine-preventable diseases and clinical vaccine trials, particularly in at-risk groups, pregnant women, and perinatal infections. He is particularly interested in exploring the potential of maternal immunisation as a feasible and accessible strategy to improve global health. Konstantinos's current research focus is defining correlates of protection against invasive Group B Streptococcal disease that can be used to facilitate vaccine licensure.
