Department of Drug and Natural Product Synthesis, University of Vienna, Althanstrasse 14, 1090 – Vienna, Austria, and Department of Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Complutense University of Madrid, Pza. Ramón y Cajal s/n, 28040 – Madrid, Spain. Email: vpace@farm.ucm.es




Vittorio Pace received a degree in pharmacy from the University of Perugia (Italy) in 2005 and a M.Sc. in drug design and development from the University of Pavia (Italy) in 2008. He obtained his Ph.D. in chemistry under the guidance of Professor A. R. Alcántara at the Complutense University of Madrid (2010). He then moved to the University of Vienna (Austria) as a postdoctoral Ernst Mach fellow with Professor W. Holzer and from September 2011 joined the group of Professor D. Procter at the University of Manchester (UK) for a second postdoctoral position.
