Salvatore Barbera graduated in Biomedical Laboratory Techniques (classification number SNT3 of the course in Technical Health Sciences) at the Faculty of Medicine of Catania University on 25 October 2005 (grade, 110/110 cum laude), with a dissertation entitled “Assessment of the state of drug addiction from hair matrices. Evaluation of the risk of false positive after external cocaine contamination “

Since 1997 he has attended both the Forensic Toxicology Laboratories and the Forensic Hemogenetics Laboratory as voluntary theoretical-practical internships with the aim to acquire specific expertise on techniques concerning the DNA extraction and purification, methods of investigation to the recognition/disavowal of paternity and for personal identification, genetic diagnosis of both blood and sperm; techniques concerning the histological sampling, extraction techniques (acid digestion, direct solvent extraction, and solid phase extraction) from both biological matrices (viscera, biological liquids, hair matrices) and non-biological.

He has also acquired expertise on both gas- and liquid-chromatographic techniques such as GC(-FID, -ECD, -NPD), GC-MS, HPLC and TLC but, also on spectrophotometric analytical techniques.

In December 2016 he joint to the Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry, branch of Catania, as an administrative assistant and since 2019 to date he has been in charge as ICB Administrative Manager for the branch of Catania.

Roberto Dallocchio, born in Sassari in 1962, carries out its activities as a technician in the National Research Council (CNR) since 1984

Diplomato in chemistry, in time has acquired a great experience in computer programming, and in management of computer networks.

He mainly deals with computational modeling of biomolecules. These calculations include the use of techniques of molecular mechanics, quantum chemistry, docking, virtual screening and molecular dynamics. His experience includes the following software: Sybyl, Autodock, Gaussian, Amber.

Has founded in 2001 the molecular modelling group of the ICB Institute of Sassari.

Is coauthor of numerous publications in international journals of chemistry / biology.

His computer experience led him to play different positions in the field of computer networks, such as the design of infrastructure networks of CNR in Sardinia, the management and programming of devices, such as routers, switches and firewalls (mainly Cisco devices)

Currently manages the Computing Center of the CNR Research Area of Sassari, where he specialized in the management of computing servers, virtualization, NAS storage, and application oriented to web (HTML, Javascript, PHP, etc.)

He gained experience in various programming languages, including C, C++, PHP, and in the programming world of relational databases (MSQL, MySQL and PosgreSQL)

Alessandro Dessì, is currently part of the calculation team, established from 2000 to date. The specialist knowledge involve molecular modeling, virtual screening, docking and molecular dynamics which support the various research groups belonging to the Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry, and different, national and international, research groups. He was involved in the generation and adaptation of graphical interfaces for the use of different processing programs.

In collaboration with a medicinal chemistry group, currently works on design of novel biologically active compounds as prototype drugs on HIV-1 Integrase field, we were performed several computational studies (conformational analyses and docking procedure) and drug discovery methods (Structure-based Drug design, 3D-Distance geometry, et al).

This computational approach was applied with the aim of helping in the all steps of the drug research: preliminary (structure-based drug design), on the drug optimization and of better interpreting the biological results.

Recently, we started with a new research interest focused on structure-based design and synthesis of novel compounds as Syk inhibitors with new scaffold.

Expertise:

• Calculation models of biologically and pharmacologically active molecules
• Design and simulation of biologically and pharmacologically active molecules
• Analysis of the data calculated and pharmacological activities
