Biography

Dr. Ektoras Hadjipanayi (MD, PhD) is a German board certified plastic surgeon with an expertise in surgical and non-surgical rejuvenation procedures. His profound knowledge in the areas of skin ageing and regeneration is backed by over 10 years of research experience in wound healing and angiogenesis. Having studied medicine at the renowned University of Cambridge (UK) he moved on to complete a PhD at University College London (UK). He currently holds the position of Associate Professor for plastic surgery at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Over a decade, he has researched the application of hypoxia as a stimulus for inducing angiogenic growth factor signaling by cells on demand. In 2014, together with his colleague Prof.A.F.Schilling, he pioneered the use of Hypoxia Preconditioned Products (HYPPP) as a means to promote angiogenesis and improve tissue perfusion. Based on this, they developed the EmaCure® therapy as a novel treatment for chronic wounds. Their joined work has awarded them multiple prizes including the German Innovation Prize for Biotechnology (2013), the TUM IdeAward (2013) and the Science4Life Prize (2016).
