Mauro Ravera

Mauro Ravera is Full Professor in the Department of Science and Technological Innovation at Università del Piemonte Orientale. His research develops platinum-based anticancer prodrugs with focus on overcoming chemoresistance in cancers like glioblastoma.

Key research areas:

• Pt(IV) prodrug design and synthesis
• Nanodelivery systems for platinum drugs
• Mechanisms of chemoresistance
• Computational prediction of drug properties

Recent publications explore DNA damage repair in glioblastoma and critical element recovery from batteries. His group investigates multi-action Pt(IV) complexes combining cisplatin derivatives with bioactive ligands.
