Georgios Nakos

Consultant Pathologist

Dr. Georgios Nakos is a Certified Specialist in Anatomic Pathology, with more than 15 years of experience in Histopathology, Cytology, and Molecular Pathology. He is an active member of the Cyprus Medical Association and the Cyprus Society of Pathology.

He graduated from the School of Medicine at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH).


He obtained his specialty qualification from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), where he completed his specialist training at Evangelismos General Hospital of Athens, working in the Department of Anatomic Pathology, the Renal Pathology Laboratory, and the Cytology Laboratory.

Under the supervision of Emeritus Professor of Anatomic Pathology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Prof. G. Agroyannis, he received specialized training in the diagnostic assessment of benign and malignant bone and soft tissue lesions (2021).


For six consecutive years (2016–2022), he worked at the Department of Anatomic Pathology of Nicosia General Hospital, the largest laboratory of its kind in Cyprus. As part of a team of ten specialist pathologists, he covered the full spectrum of diagnostic requirements within the specialty and participated in multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTs).


Additionally, for five and a half years, he served as a Special Scientific Associate in the educational programme of the University of Nicosia Medical School, teaching Histology and Anatomic Pathology to medical students.


At the invitation of Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. Nikolao Zamboglou, he undertook the establishment of a state-of-the-art Anatomic Pathology Laboratory at the Institute. As part of this initiative, he visited the Institute of Pathology at the University Hospital of Freiburg, Germany, where he worked with Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Martin Werner and PD Dr. med. Peter Bronsert to gain practical insight into and facilitate the implementation of modern diagnostic practices in everyday clinical work.

This service, which had not previously been available at the Institute, commenced operations in May 2022.


His current diagnostic and clinical practice encompasses the assessment of benign and malignant diseases affecting nearly all organ systems. His particular areas of scientific interest and expertise include:

  • Prostate and urinary bladder biopsies.

  • Liver, pancreas, and biliary tract biopsies.

  • Thyroid gland biopsies.

  • Bone and soft tissue biopsies.

  • Gastrointestinal biopsies.

  • Skin biopsies.

Dr. Nakos combines evidence-based medical knowledge with advanced diagnostic techniques. He participates in national and international conferences and contributes to scientific publications, providing patients at the Institute with a high standard of personalized care.
