I presented some of my last research data on Trp metabolites with immunosuppressive activities in the Chemical Biology & Biochemistry session at the ACS National Meeting in August 2025. ACS society is an excellent avenue for networking and making new scientific connections in any chemistry field.

ASMS 2025 in Baltimore, MA, USA (June 1st-5th) was a great opportunity to share my own developed and optimized proteomics platforms highlighting the cellular signaling in human dendritic cells. Thanks to all ASMS experts for their training workshops in mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis!

It was a great scientific meeting this last AAI (American Association of Immunologists, May 2nd-7th, Honolulu, Hawai'i). Our lab, PI: Professor Laura Santambrogio (on my right in the photo) was chosen for a talk on one of my major projects, pharmacology of 3-HKA. Waikiki beach was a nice gift.

I saw many science conferences where the awardees are sharing memories from their times when they were students, so I decided to do the same using this media platform as I used to do also on Twitter (X). Some memories shared here were not yet disclosed on other social media accounts!

they watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea...": from "The last Resort" song by The Eagles. Sunset over Pacific at The Scripps Seaside Forum. Once a year you can attend Peptides Therapeutics Symposium and get your own photos at the end of the day.

I saw some great presentations on PRM analysis of human TTR (transthyretin) at this last USHUPO2025 in Philadelphia. Our lab was the first to report selected site specific oxidative PTM on TTR which affected its binding affinity for MHCII and its immunogenicity; published in JCI-Insight in 2016.
