Riccardo Zanni

Riccardo Zanni is a Researcher in the Department of Physical Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Valencia, affiliated with the UDF-TM Molecular Topology and Drug Design Unit research group.

Education:

• PhD in Chemistry, University of Valencia (2016). Thesis: "Molecular Topology Design and Pharmacological Tests of New Inhibitors against WNT/β-CATENIN and PI3K/Akt/mTOR", supervised by Dr. Jorge Gálvez Álvarez and Dr. Maria Carmen Recio Iglesias.

His research integrates physical chemistry and computational methods to develop targeted cancer therapeutics, specializing in molecular topology applications for inhibitor design against WNT/β-CATENIN and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways. This work bridges theoretical modeling with pharmacological validation to advance precision oncology drug discovery.

Within the UDF-TM research unit, Dr. Zanni contributes to collaborative projects optimizing molecular topology techniques for pharmaceutical development. No information is available regarding current advisees, scientific awards, or external funding grants.
