Alberto MINASSI

Alberto MINASSI is an Associate Professor at the University of Eastern Piedmont 'Amedeo Avogadro' in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. His research focuses on natural products chemistry, organic synthesis, and drug discovery, with particular expertise in TRP channels, cannabinoid derivatives, and curcumin-based therapeutics. He has contributed to the development of novel synthetic methodologies and biomolecular tools, including fluorescent protein tags and probes for cancer diagnosis.

Key projects include R&D_AbITi (antibody development with Regione Lombardia funding), neuroblastoma diagnostic sonda development, and natural products-assisted organic synthesis. His work addresses sustainable chemistry practices and applications in biotechnology, such as enzyme-catalyzed reactions and drug delivery systems.

MINASSI's research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in advancing health innovations and environmental sustainability through green synthetic strategies. His publications span over 20 years, with recent emphasis on TRPV1 modulation, curcumin analogues, and cannabinoid chemistry.
