About

Mattia Mori is associate professor in medicinal chemistry at the University of Siena. Research interests span from the use of computational tools for structural studies on macromolecules of therapeutic relevance to the identification and optimization of small molecules as drug candidates.

Patrícia Rijo is a medicinal chemist with a PhD in Pharmaceutical and Therapeutic Chemistry from the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Lisbon, Portugal. Currently, she is an associate professor at Lusófona University. Her research includes extraction, isolation, structural characterization, and molecular design of bioactive natural products from different natural sources, namely with antimicrobial activity.

Priyanka Sahariah is a Research Scientist in Polymer Chemistry at the University of Iceland and a Development Scientist at Alvotech, Iceland. Research interests include design, synthesis and structural characterization of biopolymer based conjugates for various biomedical applications including antimicrobial activity.

Dana Reichmann is an Associate professor at the Department of Biological Chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her research is dealing with understanding how microorganisms (yeast and bacteria) maintain their “healthy” and complex proteome during stress conditions. To achieve this goal, the Reichmann lab is utilizing and developing an extensive toolbox of technologies which are able to quantify changes on cellular and molecular levels, including in-vivo fluorescence-based sensors, and mass spectrometry based techniques such as redox and structural proteomics.

Carole Devaux is a senior researcher at the Luxembourg Institute of Health focusing on translational research in infectious diseases. Her work spans over the development of immunoassays and in vivo models of infection to the development of immunotherapeutics against pathogens.
