Dr Nikiphorou completed her medical studies in 2004 at University College London having also obtained a First Class Honours for her Intercalated BSc in Physiology, as well as a British Pharmacological Society Award and a Wellcome Trust Vacation Scholarship for her BSc Research on Mineralocorticoid Receptors.

During this time she was awarded a CLRN Research Associate Fellowship and also took two years to complete her MD research back at University College London, examining orthopaedic intervention as a surrogate marker of joint destruction and failure in RA. With the support of a travelling fellowship from the Royal Society of Medicine, she undertook a fellowship in Chicago, followed by 3 months in Finland on a European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)-funded educational training bursary, undertaking RA-related research. She is involved in a number of national and international rheumatology societies and initiatives and has been an invited speaker and scientific abstract presenter in several national and international conferences.
