Dr. Arno F. Spatola
Founder
PEPTIDES INTERNATIONAL
United States of America
Biography
Arno F. Spatola was born in Albany, New York in 1944. He received his undergraduate degree in chemistry from Cornell University and his Master and Doctorate degrees from the University of Michigan with Prof. Daniel T. Longone. Under the direction of Dr. Victor J. Hruby at the University of Arizona, Dr. Spatola's postdoctoral research focused on peptide synthesis and structure-function studies, marking the beginning of his distinguished career in peptide science. This led to his 1973 recruitment by the University of Louisville's Chemistry Department to initiate a peptide research program in Louisville, Kentucky. While at the University of Louisville, Professor Spatola became an internationally recognized peptide chemistry researcher. During his academic tenure, his major research interests included biologically active peptides, pseudopeptides, cyclic peptides, and cyclic peptide libraries. He originated the (psi) pseudopeptide nomenclature, formally adopted by IUPAC. Notable contributions include Dr. Spatola's development of backbone-modified
