Gregor was born in Berlin (Germany) where he studied Pharmacy. He received his PhD in 2013 in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich (Switzerland) under the supervision of Prof Jean-Christophe Leroux. For his dissertation, he received both the ETH Silver Medal for an Outstanding Doctoral Thesis and the “Rottendorf Europapreis für Pharmazie” for Excellent Pharmaceutical Research. From 2013-2016 Gregor worked as Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Materials and Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London (United Kingdom) in the research group of Prof Molly M. Stevens. For this work, he received a prestigous Marie Curie Intra-European Research Fellowship from the European Commission and a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). From 2016-2021, Gregor was independent Junior Research Group Leader at the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (Germany).

Since 2021, he holds the Chair for Pharmaceutical Biology at the Friedrich-Alexander-University (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg. Gregor is a recipient of an ERC Starting Grant 2020. The prestigious 2019s Young Investigators Award from the German Pharmaceutical Society (DPhG) has recognised his work.

His research is chiefly concerned with novel biogenic avenues against infectious and inflammatory dispositions, and the characterisation of novel natural products. He is a Hertha BSC supporter for better or worse.
