Mauro Carcelli serves as a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical, Life and Environmental Sustainability Sciences at the University of Parma, teaching General and Inorganic Chemistry across multiple programs including the 5-year Master's in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology and Bachelor's in Chemistry. His academic appointments span from 2013/2014 through current 2025/2026 cohort assignments with consistent course delivery in core chemistry curricula.
Research interests focus on bioinorganic chemistry with particular emphasis on metal complexes exhibiting biological activity. His work bridges coordination chemistry and medicinal applications, targeting antiviral and anticancer mechanisms through metal-based compounds. Key areas include enzyme inhibition (particularly carbonic anhydrases and viral endonucleases), structural characterization of metal-ligand systems, and development of water-soluble therapeutic complexes.
Publication trends reveal sustained research momentum through 2025, with recent work concentrating on carbonic anhydrase IX inhibitors for cancer therapy, Bunyavirales endonuclease targeting for antiviral applications, and advanced characterization of copper/zinc complexes. The portfolio demonstrates strong integration of synthetic chemistry, computational modeling, and biological evaluation across 100+ journal articles, 3 book chapters, and 2 patents.
As an active member of the Italian Chemical Society since 1993, Carcelli contributes to the scientific community through peer review for leading journals including Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry. His laboratory maintains collaborations evident in multi-institutional publications, though specific team structures aren't detailed in source materials. Office hours are held Fridays 3-6pm at the Chemical Complex Science Park Area in Parma.
