Curriculum vitae

Dr. Giovanna Delogu, holds a degree in Pharmacy at the University of Cagliari in July of 1992 discussing an experimental thesis entitled “Sintesi e proprietà di una nuova classe di podandi”.
In November 1992, she won a scholarship “Ph.D. in Chimica del Farmaco” Cyclo-VIII at the Drug Chemical Technologic Department of the Pharmacy Faculty of the University of Cagliari.
In October 1996 she received the title of Doctor of research in Chemistry of Drug in the area of organic chemistry, presenting a written work entitled: “Derivati benzonaftiridinici: sintesi e studio della loro attività biologica”. Since February 1996 is Researchers at the Drug Chemical Technologic Department of the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Cagliari for Scientific Field disciplinary CHIM/06-Organic Chemistry and still holds that role.
