Ilaria D’Agostino, PostDoc. Ilaria D’Agostino graduated cum laude in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology in 2015 at the University of Siena (Italy) with an experimental thesis on the synthesis of diphenylpyridine derivatives endowed with amino acid tails as anti-influenza RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase PA-PB1 interaction inhibitors. She obtained her PhD in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2019 after a dissertation on the design and synthesis of alkylguanidino ureas as broad-spectrum bactericidal agents. During the following year, she improved her expertise in amino-protecting group synthetic strategies applied to the preparation of new perspective anti-infective agents. From 2020, she obtained a Research Fellow at the University of Siena and works on the synthesis of new pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives and prodrugs as potent tyrosine-kinase inhibitors in cancer treatment.
