Full Professor, Organic and Medicinal Chemistry, at the Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences, University of Milano-Bicocca. Permanent professorship at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) of Lyon (France) where he teaches a course of Medicinal Chemistry (Master level). In 2012, professorship in Organic Chemistry at the University Paris 5, and in 2012 he was Visiting Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of California, Davis (USA). Coordinator of the H2020-funded MSCA-ETN project TOLLerant (“Toll-Like Receptor 4 activation and function in diseases: an integrated chemical-biology approach”, GA number 642157 www.tollerant.eu). The research of the network focuses on the development of new chemical entities able to modulate the activity of Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) for therapeutic purposes.
