Enrico Ravera

Enrico Ravera is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Florence, affiliated with the Magnetic Resonance Center. He holds a B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Florence (2008–2013), followed by postdoctoral fellowships at CERM and a FIRC Fellowship at CIRMMP. His research focuses on NMR spectroscopy (solution/solid-state), paramagnetic systems, EPR, and biomaterial characterization. Key achievements include developing novel NMR methodologies for protein-material interactions and co-authoring influential textbooks like NMR of Paramagnetic Molecules.

Education:

• B.Sc. Chemistry, University of Florence (2008)
• M.Sc. Chemistry of Biological Molecules, cum laude (2009)
• Ph.D. in Chemistry (2013)

Research interests span solid-state NMR, paramagnetic systems, EPR, and bioinspired materials. Notable contributions include engineering enzymes for bioinspired silica formation and studying protein dynamics via paramagnetic tagging.

Awards include the 2020 Premio Raffaello Nasini, GIDRM Under 35 Award, and UNESCO/IUPAC Green Chemistry Prize. His work bridges chemistry, biology, and materials science, with applications in drug design and medical imaging.

Grants and collaborations include projects on protein-drug conjugates, NMR-based drug development, and biotherapeutic characterization. He leads efforts in developing interdisciplinary approaches for structural biology.

Labs/Teams: Active in the Magnetic Resonance Center (CERM) and collaborates with CIRMMP. Research integrates NMR with computational methods and biophysical techniques.
