Current Position: Valerio Fasano, PhD, is Senior Researcher (RTD-B) in Organic Chemistry since 2023 at the University of Milan, Italy.
Research activity and interest: Dr Valerio Fasano received his M.Sc. in Chemistry at the University of Bologna. After a visiting experience at the University of Lund (Sweden), he obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Manchester (UK), under the supervision of Prof. Michael Ingleson. He was then awarded a mobility grant by the Royal Society of Chemistry with which he moved to the University of Toronto (Canada) working with FRS Prof. Douglas Stephan. Thus, he returned to the UK as a Doctoral Prize Fellow at the University of Bristol (UK), supervised by Prof. FRS Varinder Aggarwal. In 2022 he joined the University of Milan as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Chemistry to then get promoted to Tenure Track Assistant Professor (RTDb) in the group of Prof. Daniele Passarella.
His research group is interested in developing new strategies for the selective functionalisation of pyridines and other N-heterocycles, as well as the synthesis of a broad range of complex natural products, including cannabinoids and N-heterocyclic biomolecules.
