Eleonora received her M.Sc. degree in chemistry and pharmaceutical technologies at the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna in 2016. She then pursued her Ph.D. degree in molecular pharmacology and drug discovery joint between the University of Nottingham and Monash University under the supervision of Profs. Barrie Kellam, Steve Hill, Peter Scammells, Lauren May and Michelle Halls. Her doctoral studies focused on the design, development and application of fluorescently-labelled molecules to study the biology of membrane proteins in living cells. Since 2021, Eleonora is a research fellow in medicinal chemistry working in Prof. Michael Stocks’ lab where she is designing and synthesizing new drug-like molecules and chemical probes targeting the P2Y2 receptor.
