-
Carlos Mayobré
-
Tamas Vermes
- He studied the novel course “Molecular Life Science” at Firedrich Alexander University in Erlangen with the main focus on Drug Discovery, designing and synthesizing organic compounds as well as their testing in various biochemical assays.
- In 2017 he finished his master thesis with the main topic on pathogen host interaction between phytopathogens and their hosts.
- Since 2018 he is working in the Viro-Flow project as PhD student. Major tasks are the development and adaptation of a biochemical assay for in flow determination of the on target activity for newly synthesized compounds.
-
Elena Detta
- In 2017 she obtained her Master Degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology from La Sapienza University of Rome, working on the synthesis of small molecules and in a molecular biology laboratory with human cell cultures.
- Since 2018 she is working in the Viro-Flow project as PhD student Currently. Her role as part of VIRO-FLOW project is mainly focused on the design and identification of novel anti-infective agents through the exploration of multiple and diverse computational techniques.
