Giancarlo Statti is a full professor at the Department of Pharmacy, Health, and Nutritional Sciences, University of Calabria, Italy. He is a member of the Italian Society of Phytochemistry (SIF) and the Society for Medicinal Plant Research (GA). He was the deputy coordinator of the Master’s Degree Course in Nutritional Sciences in the Departments of Pharmacy and Health and Nutrition Sciences at the University of Calabria and Head of the Faculty Commission for the conduct of traineeships. The scientific interests within pharmaceutical biology are aimed at the extraction and isolation of compounds of natural origin from plants of the Calabrian flora and their structural determination by means of spectroscopy techniques (NMR, IR, GC/MS, MS), the determination of the basic biological activity (cytotoxic, antioxidant, and enzymatic inhibition activity), and also the design and synthesis of structural analogues of the compounds of natural origin isolated. The research is based on the systematic study of plants belonging to the Mediterranean flora (with particular attention to the Calabrian endemic ones) in order to isolate biologically active compounds to be considered as phytochemical markers that are also useful for the purpose of a chemotaxonomic classification, allowing to highlight the distinctive characteristics of the biodiversity of the species involved.
