Prof. Antonella Di Pizio is a leading researcher in the field of computational chemistry with a primary focus on taste and olfactory G protein-coupled receptors, which play a crucial role in mediating chemosensory perception. Her research group at the Technical University of Munich develops innovative computational tools and predictive models to screen and rationally design new bioactive compounds, applicable in both food reformulation and therapeutic indications. She completed her PhD in Drug Sciences at the University of Chieti in Italy in 2012 and subsequently undertook a research stay at the University of Marburg in Germany followed by a postdoctoral position at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. In 2018, she began leading the Molecular Modelling group at the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at TUM, and in 2023 she was appointed as a Professor of Chemoinformatics and Protein Modelling at the same university. Her work is published in various notable journals, contributing significantly to the scientific understanding of GPCRs and their interactions with ligands.
