Beatrice Severino received her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, in 2003. From 2006 she was assistant professor at the Faculty of Pharmacy – University of Naples Federico II. From 2018 to date, prof. Severino is associate professor at the Department of Pharmacy. In 2021, she received the national scientific qualification as full professor. Severino’s research interests focus on the design, synthesis and characterization of molecules potentially active on several pharmacological targets. She has long been working in the area of peptide and peptidomimetic synthesis focusing the attention on kallikreins and protease activated receptors (PARs). Additional interests include the application of microwave to the synthesis of biologically active compounds and the development of: i) selective serotonin receptors ligands; ii) sphingosine-1-phosphate pathway acting peptidic and small molecule derivatives; iii) novel pharmacological tools useful for elucidating H2S biological functions. She co-authored 112 papers on peer-review journals, 6 patents and numerous abstracts for national and international congresses. Total number of citations is 2052 with H-index=26 (source: Scopus).
