Ilaria
Ilaria completed her BSc in Chemistry in 2021 and her MSc in Organic Chemistry in 2024, both at the University of Milan. During her MSc studies, she participated in a medicinal chemistry project
focused on the synthesis of a library of small organic ligands targeting tau pre-mRNA sequences, in order to evaluate them as alternative splicing modulators with neuroprotective activities. In
spring 2024, Ilaria joined the DeprezLab at the University of Lille, France, for an Erasmus+ internship, where she worked on synthesizing optimized ERAP2 inhibitors. In October 2024, she joined the McGouran Group at Trinity College to pursue a PhD focused on the synthesis of activity-based probes, aiming to demonstrate the application of thiol-ene based probes on Burton’s tyrosine kinase.
