Dennis Liotta), and at King’s College, London (UK).
The research projects are mainly focused on the drug design and synthesis of new biologically active chemical entities in the areas of antitumor, infective and SNC drugs. The drug design is based on molecular models performed by the internal computational unit New procedures for themicrowave-assisted synthesis and the highly automated purification of relevant pharmaceutical molecules are also developed.
