Renowned for her expertise in breast cancer and innovative research, she combines clinical excellence with a commitment to advancing oncology through cutting-edge trials and education.

Her doctoral research focused on the safety and efficacy of the hTERT telomerase vaccine in solid malignancies, resulting in multiple peer-reviewed publications that established her early academic footprint.
Following her PhD, Dr Papadimitraki joined London's Royal Marsden Hospital in 2013 as a Senior Clinical Fellow, specialising in breast cancer at both the Royal Marsden and Kingston Hospital Breast Units.
