Dr. Scala made a substantial contribution to the description of the complexation properties of amphiphilic cyclodextrins with anticancer and phototherapeutic drugs, through NMR (one- and two-dimensional techniques).
The awardee has been working on this field since 2011 under the guidance of Prof. Mazzaglia and is currently an Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Messina.
She has published 74 scientific technical papers with 1241 citations having an Hirsch-index: 20; and now keeps working on the synthesis, characterization and supramolecular organization of polymer- and cyclodextrin-based biomaterials for controlled –release drug delivery and nanomedicine.
On behalf of CycloLab Cyclodextrin R.and D. Laboratory Ltd, we all congratulate Angela Scala on her great achievements and wish her continued success in her future scientific career.
