Prof. Alba Silipo, Full professor of Organic Chemistry. PhD in Chemistry (2004), University of Naples Federico II. EU postdoctoral Marie Curie at Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas, Madrid (2005-2006). Vising scientist at Research Center Borstel (Germany), University of Luebeck (Germany), Leibniz-Institut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP), Berlin. Awards Carbohydrate Research Award for Creativity in Carbohydrate Chemistry, 2019, III European prize of the RSEQ CHEMICAL BIOLOGY DIVISION to young group leaders”, 2017; IEIIS Nowotny Award, 2016; Medaglia Giacomo Ciamician (SCI); Premio di Dottorato di Ricerca “Giacomino Randazzo” 2004. Scientific interests focused on carbohydrate chemistry, in particular: Structure and function of microbial glycoconjugates. Conformational analysis of glycoconjugates by NMR and computational approaches (MM and MD simulation), biophysical methods. Study of the protein-ligand interaction by NMR, biophysical techniques, computational approaches (MD, Docking, homology modeling, corcema-st).
