Alessia Latorrata (ESR2) awarded a poster prize for her poster at the EFMC-ASMC'19

EuroNeurotrophin’s Early Stage Researcher, Alessia Latorrata (ESR2), was awarded a poster prize by the Hellenic Society of Medicinal Chemistry for her poster entitled “Synthesis and biological evaluation of dehydroepiandrosterone 17-spiro-cyclopropyl derivatives with neurotrophin and neuroprotective activity” which she presented at the VIII EFMC International Symposium on Advances in Synthetic and Medicinal Chemistry held in Athens, Greece  between 1. – 5. September, 2019.

Alessia is currently hosted at the National Hellenic Research Foundation in Greece and her individual research project within EuroNeurotophin focuses on the synthesis, purification and characterization of chiral 17-spiro DHEA derivatives bearing three-membered rings, which will be further elaborated to introduce pharmacophore groups, using asymmetric organocatalysis, biomimetic approaches and other synthetic methodologies.
