Agostino Cilibrizzi received his PhD degree in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology from the University of Florence in 2011. He is a medicinal chemist and joined King’s College London in 2016 (Department of Imaging Chemistry & Biology, 2016-2018, and Department of Analytical, Environmental & Forensic Sciences, 2018-2019), working on secondment as a senior research scientist at Theragnostics Ltd. Prior to this, he worked at the University of Florence, University of Cambridge and Imperial College London (2013-2016). In 2019, Agostino joined the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science (KCL), to establish a Medicinal Imaging-Chemistry lab. Research in his group focuses on the synthesis (heterocycles, metal complexes/chelators, peptides) and medical applications of biologically active agents and optical probes, including the chemical analysis and the development of bioimaging techniques (biophysical assays, microscopy, NIR, and PET).
