Homologation Reactions

Vittorio Pace is holder of a TT Professorship in Drug Synthesis at the University of Vienna. He graduated in Pharmacy in 2005 from the University of Perugia (Italy) and subsequently, received the PhD in Chemical Sciences cum laude from the Complutense University of Madrid in 2010 working with Profs. Alcántara and Sinisterra. After postdoctoral training at Vienna (Prof. Holzer, 2010-2011), Manchester (Prof. Procter, 2011-2013) and Stockholm (Prof. Olofsson, 2013-2014), he obtained a group leader position at the University of Vienna in 2014. In 2016 he received the Habilitation (venia docendi et legendi) in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from the University of Vienna working on developing homologation strategies for rapidly assembling scaffolds of potential medicinal interest. In 2017 he obtained the Habilitation for Full Professor of Organic Chemistry granted by the Italian Ministry of University. He received several awards including the Ciamician Medal of the Italian Chemical Society, the Caglioti Prize of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, the Young Investigator Award of the Faculty of Life Sciences at Vienna, the La Roche-Hoffmann Prize of the European Society of Medicinal Chemistry, the Viennese Innitzer Award in 2017, the Habilitation Award of the Austrian Chemical Society in 2019 and the Thieme Journal Award in 2020. He acts as Associate Editor of Monatshefte für Chemie - Chemical Monthly and is a board member of Molecules. His research core is represented by the design and development of novel homologative chemoselective transformations with functionalized organolithiums.
