Biography

Giovanni Palmisano was born Turin, Italy, in 1947 and received his Laurea in 1971 from the University of Milan under the supervision of Prof. L. Canonica. He started his academic career as an Assistant Professor at the Milan and was appointed to Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry at the same institution in 1983. As Full Professor of Organic Chemistry he joined University of Turin in 1994, and then moved to the University of Piemonte Orientale-Novara. From 2000 he held the Chair of Organic Chemistry at the University of Insubria-Como
 

Research interests

 His research interests ranged from structural elucidation, molecular rearrangement, photochemistry and total synthesis of natural compounds (terpenoids, steroids, alkaloids and coumarins) through organic electrochemistry. Recently, these interests changed to the functionalization of heterocyclic compounds induced by transition-metal complexes and synthesis of polyazamacrocycles as ligands for contrast agents in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. He is co-author of over 170 papers and co-inventor of 4 patents.
