Information

Dimitra Hadjipavlou-Litina received a B.S. in Pharmacy and a Ph.D in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, in 1990, for a synthetic and biological study of novel anti-inflammatory hydroxyamino and diamino ketones under Professor P.N. Kourounakis's supervision. From 1992 to 1993 she spent a postdoctoral year with Professor C. Hansch in the Chemistry Department, Pomona College, California. Currently, she is an Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Thessaloniki, School of Pharmacy, Greece. Her research interests involve studies on anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents (synthesis, design, and biological evaluation), the relationships between the structure and activity of various drug classes as well as comparative QSAR, computer-assisted drug design (CADD), and cheminformatics.
