PALERMO,UNIVERSITY

PhD student Giovanni Palmisano joined us in 2005 and is now completing a remarkable doctorate in chemical engineering at Palermo University. His talent, commitment and constancy of purpose will form the basis of a similarly great career in science. 

Mario holds a PhD in chemistry from Palermo University (1998), the topic of his thesis being the selective oxidation of carbohydrates mentors were David Avnir in Jerusalem and Arjan de Nooy in the Netherlands. He has also studied and worked in France and Germany. In 2005 he was appointed Maitre de conferences associe at the Montpellier Ecole Nationale Superieure de Chimie. Between 1993 and 1994 he worked in the Netherlands, initially at the Rijks Universiteit, Leiden, and then at the TNO Food Research Institute in Zeist. In 1998 he was with Michel Vignon at the Grenoble CNRS, and in 2001 he joined Carsten Bolm s research group at Aachen Polytechnic. 

We want to thank all the contributors whose work made this volume possible Laura Molin and Luca Raveane for their kind support in preparing the first part of the book, Mirko De Rosso, Annarita Panighel, and Antonio Dalla Vedova for their support in organizing the second section, and Professor Rocco Di Stefano of Palermo University and Professor Paolo Cabras of Cagliari University for the kindly provided data.

Stanis la o Ca n n izza ro (1826-1910) was born in Palermo, Sicily, the son of the chief of police. He studied at the University of Pisa under Rafaelle Piria and also worked in Peris with Michei-Eugene Chevreul. As a youth, he took part in the Sicilian revolution of 1848 and was at one point condemned to death. He was professor of chemistry at the universities of Genoa, Palermo, and Rome and is best known for being the first to clarify the distinction between atoms and molecules.

Work on this element was then begun by Emilio Gino Segre in Italy. Segre was born at Tivoli, Italy, in 1905. He took his doctorate in Rome in 1928 and remained there until 1935. At that time he was named professor of physics at the Royal University of Palermo, where he remained until 1938. He then came to the Radiation Laboratory of the University of California at Berkeley, where he remained, except for the years from 1943 to 1945, which he spent at Los Alamos. He is now professor of physics at the University of California. 

These studies were supported by the Ministero dell Istruzione, dell Universita e della Ricerca (MIUR) and the University of Palermo.

Girolamo Cirrincione was born in Palermo in 1948. In March 1974, he graduated in chemistry from the University of Palermo. After completing one year of military service, he did his postdoctoral fellowship at the Medicinal Chemistry Department of the University of Palermo from May 1975 to March 1976 from April 1976 to October 1981, he was a research fellow and from November 1981 to October 1994 an associate professor of medicinal chemistry at the same institution. Since November 1994, he has been a full professor of medicinal chemistry at the University of Palermo. He has obtained CNR-NATO Fellowships (September 1982-May 1983, July-August 1986, July-September 1989) and British Council Fellowship (August 1984), from the School of Chemical Sciences of the University of East Anglia (Norwich, UK). 

He has served as the director of the Istituto Farmacochimico (March 1995-June 1999) and director of the Dipartimento Farmacochimico Toss. Biol. (July 1999-December 2004 and July 2005-to date). He is responsible for ERASMUS exchanges of the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Palermo for the research sector Synthetic Analogues of Natural Structure of Biological Interest of the ICTPN-CNR in a scientific capacity (January 1994—December 1998). He has been Member of the Drug Discovery Committee of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, the Societa Chimica Italiana, Member, and the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry (which he has also served in the capacity of vice-president for the period 2004—05). He is a scientific editor of the journal ARKIVOC. 

Patrizia Diana was born in Palermo in 1967. She graduated in pharmacy with honors at the University of Palermo in March 1990. From April 1990 to August 1992, she was a research fellow at the Medicinal Chemistry Department of the University of Palermo. She has been working as researcher in medicinal chemistry (September 1992-March 2000) and associate professor of medicinal chemistry (April 2000-to date) at the University of Palermo. From May 1994 to May 1995, she worked with Professor Malcolm F. G. Stevens ar the CRC Experimental Cancer Chemotherapy Research Group for a fellowship. Since 2005, she has been vice-director of the Dipartimento Farmacochimico Toss, e Biol. She is a member of the Societa Chimica Italiana and International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry.
