Academic open-access publisher Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) has announced the appointment of Professor Orazio Taglialatela-Scafati as Editor-in-Chief of Marine Drugs.
Orazio Taglialatela-Scafati is Professor of Pharmaceutical Biology at the Department of Pharmacy, University Federico II of Naples (Italy), where he has been a faculty member since 1999, under the supervision of the late Professor E. Fattorusso.
His scientific interests focus on isolation, structural characterisation, and semi-synthetic modification of metabolites from both marine invertebrates and terrestrial plants, to be applied as lead compounds in drug discovery or as tools to investigate mode of actions and biochemistry.
Professor Taglialatela-Scafati has acted as coordinator of several scientific projects financed by Italian government and by European Community. He has published nearly 170 peer-reviewed research papers, several book chapters, two international patents, and co-edited the ‘Handbook of Marine Natural Products’ (Fattorusso, Gerwick, Taglialatela-Scafati; Springer, 2012), a two-volume handbook featuring the major themes of marine product chemistry and biology. Since 2014, Professor Taglialatela-Scafati has served as Associate Editor of Marine Drugs.
