On December 6, 2024, our research group proudly participated at Innovative Research in Pharmaceutical and Environmental Sciences (IRPES 2024), held in the city of Pisa and focused on Bioactive Substances and Pharmaceutical process optimization.
Our new research fellow, Fabio, presented his very first poster, "Design, synthesis and docking study of novel series of thyromimetics for the tratment of MASLD", that summarized his cutting-edge research with clarity and depth. In addition, his engaging flash presentation captured the essence of his work in just a few minutes, drawing attention from numerous attendees and fostering fruitful discussions during the poster session.
Lorenzo played a pivotal role in moderating a talk by our esteemed collaborator, Dr. Sheraz Gul, whose lecture on "Drug discovery from a Fraunhofer Institute Perspective" was one of the highlights of the day. As a moderator, Lorenzo ensured the session flowed seamlessly, facilitating insightful questions and engaging dialogue among the audience.
Italo delivered a compelling oral presentation, diving deep into protein-protein interation (PPI) topic. His talk, titled "Targeting Protein-Protein Interactions with novel small molecules: Phenotypical and Rational approaches for cancer therapy", sparked a lively discussion, highlighting the growing interest in our research focus.
We were delighted to include several of our talented Master’s students, Paola Longombardo, Jessica Gjoka, Francesca Dinatale, Jody Mori and Jessica Musetti, in this experience. Their presence at the conference not only enriched their academic perspective but also exemplified the group’s commitment to fostering the next generation of researchers.
On November 26, 2024, Lorenzo participated at the prestigious OneHealthDrugs (OHD) Marathon Days, with a presentation titled "Waste of Punica Granatum: A Source of Bioactive Components to Develop New Antiinfective Treatments" highlighting the exciting potential of natural waste products in the development of sustainable and effective treatments for infectious diseases.
On May 28, 2024, our very own Lorenzo, a valued member of our research group, had the honor of presenting at the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) - Torino event.
This gathering focused on environmental sustainability, research ecology, and circular economy, aligned topics to the Group objectives.
