Giorgio Colombo received his M.Sc. Degree in chemistry in the academic year 1994/1995 from the University of Milano, Final Grade 110/110. After that, he continued his studies obtaining a Ph.D. in chemical sciences from the University of Milano in 2000. He spent one year (1998) as a visiting scientist in the laboratory of Prof. Ken Merz at the Pennsylvania State University, working on computational and theoretical approaches to study enzymatic and protein properties. He then moved to the University of Groningen (1999-2001) as a postdoctoral fellow to work on the molecular dynamics simulations of the folding and stability of proteins and peptides. Dr. Colombo joined the Italian National Research Council in 2001 where he is currently head of the biocomputing group. Since December 2017, he is Full Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Pavia. He is the author or coauthor of more than 190 scientific publications.
