The Research Group is specialized in the design and development of new potential drugs for the treatment of specific infectious and chronic diseases. Targeted, multi-targeted or PROTACs agents are developed. Particular attention is paid to aspects related to the sustainable development of new pharmacologically active candidates using instrumental techniques and approaches related to the concept of green chemistry (microwave-assisted synthesis, electrochemistry, click-chemistry, MCR).

Group Leader: Marco Radi - Full Professor
Research Group: Maria Grazia Martina - Researcher 

Research group with solid expertise in the synthesis of innovative molecules with diverse biological and biochemical activities. Our goal is to develop chemical compounds capable of interacting with specific biological targets, which can be used both as tools for in-depth studies of fundamental biochemical processes and as potential biological modulators for enzymatic and cellular targets.

Group Leader: Gabriele Costantino - Full Professor
Research Group: Giannamaria Annunziato - Associate Professor, Marco Pieroni - Associate Professor.
