Serafini Lab
Applying trivial chemistry to solve biological problems
About Us
We are medicinal chemists and chemical biologists.
Our goal is to combine versatile chemical reactions to discover and optimize molecules to (i) treat human diseases, starting from the exploration of the unmet needs of patients, and (ii) investigate unsolved biological problems.

The group is located at the Department of Drug Science and Technology of the University of Torino (UNITO).
Our laboratory is supported by a Start-Up Grant from the Italian Association for Cancer Research (AIRC), to whom we are incredibly grateful.
