Dr. Giancarlo Pascali

Biography

Giancarlo Pascali is a Conjoint Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from the University of Pisa in Italy in 2001 and completed his Ph.D. in 'Innovative Biomedical Technologies' at the University of Lecce in 2004. Prior to his current position, Pascali worked at the Italian National Research Council (IFC-CNR) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA, focusing on novel radiolabelling methods for positron emission tomography (PET) tracers. His experience includes managing a toxicology analysis laboratory and working as a key scientist on the EU-funded 'Radiochemistry Chip' project. In 2013, he joined ANSTO as the Radiochemistry Team Leader at the Camperdown cyclotron site. Pascali's primary research interests involve the development of radiopharmaceuticals, including molecular imaging and the design of new radiolabelling methodologies. He also explores the application of advanced techniques such as photochemistry and microfluidic systems in radiochemistry. His contributions to the field are further supported by his editorial roles in several journals and involvement in scientific societies.
