Lucio Pellacani was born in Castel Viscardo (Terni, ITALY) in 1947. He took his Laurea in Chemistry at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" in 1971. He received a research grant from Accademia dei Lincei in 1972. In 1973 he did his military service as an officier in the Italian Air Force and, during this period, he worked also at the University of Parma in the field of biochemistry. He was a research assistant of Organic Chemistry at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" from 1974 to 1982. In the same university he became lecturer of Organic Chemistry in 1979, associate professor in 1982 and full professor in 2001. He is the author of a student book and of more than one hundred articles published in international journals, most of them placed in the first quartile in category of ISI Web of Knowledge. He has attended several national international and electronic meetings, and he is the author of several contributions in the form of oral, also as invited speaker or poster communications. He is a member of Italian Chemical Society since 1975. His research interests have been directed towards studies on selectivity of amination reactions of hydrocarbons and substituted olefins, Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation, ring-opening of small rings and synthesis of pseudosubstrates for mechanistic studies of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. He is married and has two daughters.
