Born in Rome in 1972, I got my Master Degree in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies and the PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. After 4 years in the USA at the National Institute of Health (NIH) working as Research Fellow I moved back to Italy and I spent 4 years at the Department of Pharmaceutical Studies at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” as part of the “Rientro dei Cervelli” program. In 2009 I joined the University of Rome “torvergata” where I actually work a lecturer in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the Degree Course of Farmacy and I’m involved in several research projects as synthetic chemist.
