Who is Interpharmacist?

Interpharmacist is the blog of Christina Bacopoulos. Mpharm, Ms Bioethics

A few words about..

Christina is a Pharmacist (Mpharm, Ms Bioethics) with professional experience since 2006. She was born in Athens, Greece. She is a world traveller, an Argentine tango dancer, and a bookworm strongly believing in lifetime education. Her friends call her Chris, Backo, or both, and that’s also her nom de plume. Above all, she is a dedicated scientist who is in love with the lab. Feel free to have a look at the timeline below for Chris Backo’s CV credentials.

Why Interpharmacist?

Nowadays, there is indeed a prevailing online over-information. The internet enables us to find answers to our various questions quickly and efficiently. Still, the knowledge we obtain is often not thorough and accurate, and it does not come from qualified scientists. Having this in mind, we created Interpharmacist. A website that gives everyone the opportunity to have access to evidence-based scientific knowledge on health issues. The Interpharmacist articles will inform you scientifically and give you evidence-based advice on prevention, nutrition, beauty, and quality of life improvement. They are in no way treatments and are not a substitute for your doctor. Each article on Interpharmacist is written simply and understandably, is based on the most innovative scientific research and is accompanied by scientific references.

You are welcome to browse each page, get informed, enjoy the content, share, connect and truly engage.

Visit Interpharmacist as you would visit your local pharmacy!

Trust your pharmacist!
