Professor Silvia Licoccia, Deputy Rector for research and Department Chair, has been selected as recipient of the 2018 AICIng Award for Distinguished Scientific and Educational achievements.

AICIng (Italian Association Chemistry for Engineering) joins Chemistry Professors in the Engineering degrees of Italian Universities.

The award is attributed every two years and has been presented during the 11th AiCIng Congres, held in Bologna (September 10-12, 2018). Professor Licoccia delivered a lecture “MaDE@UTV: the “she” energy” presenting the most significan results achieved by the group Materials and Devices for Energy at University of Rome Tor Vergata, discussed in the framework of the University Mission and Vision focused on sustainability.

Professor Francesco Ricci has been selected as recipient of  the “Advances in Measurement Science Lectureship Award”

The award is jointly assigned by ACS Analytical Chemistry Journals (Analytical Chemistry, ACS Sensors, and Journal of Proteome Research) and by the ACS Analytical Chemistry Division and is intended to honor members of the community who have made a major recent impact in the field of measurement science, with winners selected on the basis of their lecture abstracts and their research output during the past five years.

Francesco Ricci’s DNA-based nanomachines and nanodevices have been considered to push the limits of sensing, drug delivery and measurement science. Ricci’s synthetic nucleic acid probes have great potential in a wide range of point of care diagnostics.

The award has been presented during the conference Pittcon 2018, recently held  in Orlando (Florida, USA).

Bravo Francesco and keep up your excellent work!

Best presentation at ECHOCONTRAST 2018: our young researchers awarded another international recognition

Dr. Yosra Toumia, former PhD student and now postdoc with Professor Paradossi in the Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules group, has been awarded the first prize for her within the framework of ECHOCONTRAST 2018, an international conference on contrast agents held recently in Rotterdam. Yosra’c competitors came from internationally recognized excellent institutions such as Oxford University, Imperial College, Virginia University School of Medicine, NTNU Norway, Dept of Medicine Cincinnati University.

Bravo to Yorsra and the whole group!

The department makes the cover!

The  Green Chemistry dedicates the fourth cover to the paper published by the Polyphenols Chemistry & Material Science directed by Professor Claudia Crestini “Synthesis of nano- and microstructures from proanthocyanidins, tannic acid and epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate for active delivery”  di E. Bartzoka, H. Lange, P. Mosesso, C. Crestini,  Green Chemistry, 2017, 19, 5074.

This success follows the one achieved  last year whenACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering dedicated the front cover to a series of papers coming from the same group (D. S. Argyropoulos, C. Crestini: A Perspective on Lignin Refining, Functionalization, and Utilization. ACS Sustainable Chem. Eng., 2016, 4 (10), 5089–5089; H. Lange, P. Schiffels, M. Sette, O. Sevastyanova, C. Crestini: Fractional Precipitation of Wheat Straw Organosolv Lignin –Macroscopic Properties and Structural Insights. ACS Sustainable Chem. Eng., 2016, 4 (10), 5136–5151; H. Lange, F. Rulli, C. Crestini: Gel Permeation Chromatography in Determining Molecular Weights of Lignins: Critical Aspects Revisited for Improved Utility in the Development of Novel Materials. ACS Sustainable Chem. Eng., 2016, 4 (10),  5194–5203).

Congratulations Claudia and coworkers!
