Peptide chemistry

  • What it is

    Mobility experience with a research focus

  • Who it’s for

    Master students involved in the final research, PhD sandwich, Post Doc

Department

Department of Pharmaceutical Science, University of Milano

 

Main research activities/topics/projects

The research group activity is involved in the chemical synthesis of peptides/peptide mimics and in investigating the molecular interactions at the basis of peptides activities, both as bioactive compounds and as biocomponents in smart nanomaterials. Our studies take advantage on the use of non-standard amino acids as molecular bricks for the stabilization of peptide conformation, self-assembly and bioactivity.
