Alessio Cataldo

Biosketch

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in 2017 at the University of Palermo, in Italy, and my Master’s Degree in September 2019 at the University of Copenhagen, in Denmark.

During my Master project, I focused on the development of anion transmembrane transporters under the supervision of Prof. Michael Pittelkow from the University of Copenhagen and Prof. Phil Gale from the University of Sydney, in Australia.

In October 2019, I obtained a FRIA grant and joined the EMNS as PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Hennie Valkenier.

Research interests

My research project is focused on the development of anion receptors and transmembrane transporters.
