Post-Doc at the Department of Pharmacy of the University of Salerno, Italy
Background:
PhD student in Pharmaceutical Science at the University of Salerno, Italy.
Master Degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology at the University of Salerno, Italy.
Research and awards:
- Royal Society of Chemistry HOT Article Award (2020) for the paper “Accelerating the repurposing of FDA-approved drugs against coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19)” DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/D0RA09010G.
My research is focused on the discovery of new anti-cancer and/or anti-inflammatory drugs using computational techniques (molecular docking, in silico combinatorial chemistry, molecular dynamics, etc.). Moreover I take part in creating and developing new computational tools to facilitate scientific research like PDB Cl.O.E.
