معرفی
Giuseppe Campiani is a Full Professor in the Department of Biotechnology, Chemistry and Pharmacy at the University of Siena. His research focuses on medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry with applications across multiple therapeutic areas including infective diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and parasitic diseases.
His primary research interests include:
- Chemistry and biology of naturally-occurring and synthetic therapeutic molecules
- R&D for rare diseases and rational drug design
- Development of new synthetic methodologies
- Bioinformatics and structure-function relationships
- Metabolomic analyses for food traceability and authentication
Professor Campiani's recent publications (2023-2025) reveal a strong emphasis on epigenetic drug discovery, particularly histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors with applications in cancer, retinal diseases, and pulmonary fibrosis. His work also spans antiviral drug development (including for SARS-CoV-2 and monkeypox), natural product pharmacology, and food science applications. His research often bridges medicinal chemistry with practical therapeutic applications across diverse disease areas.
He teaches courses in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology, including Medicinal and Toxicological Chemistry and Laboratory in Drug Extraction and Synthesis through the 2025/2026 academic year.
