Team Members
Politecnico di Milano Team
Dr. Terraneo is an associate professor at the Department of Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering "Giulio Natta", where he focuses on crystallography.
All the structural work on small molecules and proteins described in this project will be supervised by Dr. Terraneo.
Dr. Cavallo is a young assistant professor at the Department of Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering "Giulio Natta", where she focuses on organic synthesis and characterization of functional materials.
Dr. Cavallo will supervise all the synthetic work described in this project, as well as immobilization of materials on surfaces and related characterization.
