Research Interests

My research project aims to design and synthesize novel AAZTA derivatives suitable for the conjugation with peptides or other relevant molecular vectors, to be included in a 'cold kit', which allows the labelling with PET radionuclides, obtained from a cyclotron or eluted from a commercial generator.
Competences: HPLC, LC−MS, CE, TLC, KF, potentiometric titrations, SPPS (manual and automatic, CEM-Liberty peptide synthetizer), organic synthesis, purifications (manual: silica column chromatography, desalting on resins; automatic: preparative HPLC, COMBIFLASH, BIOTAGE, AKTA PURIFIER), Bruker 600 MHz (qNMR, high resolution spectra, ¹H−NMR, ¹³C−NMR, 2D−NMR), radiolabellingmoduls with commercial generators.
