Today we say goodbye (with slightly heavy hearts and very stained lab coats) to our two Erasmus visiting students, Beatriz and Carolina, from Coimbra-Portugal!🌍 They have spent the last few months knee-deep in pomace extracts, battling DPPH radicals like true Queens of Antioxidants. 🧪⚡

Thank you girls for your brilliant work, endless enthusiasm, and for making the lab a much livelier (and slightly more purple) place! Wishing you all the best for your next adventures — may your future be as bright as a well-reduced DPPH solution! 💜✨




We’re proud to congratulate our Master’s student Jody Mori on his graduation in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology!


🧪 His thesis, titled “Synthesis of Benzimidazole Derivatives as Agonists of the AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK),” was carried out under the supervision of Prof. Simona Rapposelli and Dr. Lorenzo Raffellini. 📚


👏 The thesis committee praised his outstanding academic journey and thesis work — a truly remarkable achievement!

Wishing Jody all the best for the future, both in research and beyond! 🚀



From March 24-26, our team members Fabio and Italo attended M.I.C.e.R.Co. – the 3rd Meeting of the Italian C. elegans Research Community at the Mario Negri Institute, Milan (Italy).


🧬 March 24: Hands-on theoretical-practical workshop on C. elegans in biomedical and pharmacological research.


📢 March 25-26: Engaging talks and discussions.


📌 Fabio presented a poster: “Phenotypic screening of SG-compounds as autophagy promoters in a C. elegans model of AD: a multiparametric analysis”

A huge thank you to the organizing committee – Luisa Diomede, Carmina Natale, Margherita Romeo, and Maria Monica Barzago – for putting together such a fantastic event! 👏


It was an incredible opportunity to share knowledge, connect with researchers, and contribute to the growing C. elegans community. Looking forward to future collaborations!
