Carlo Ballatore
Dr. Ballatore is an Associate Professor at University of California San Diego (UCSD) Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and a medicinal chemist with >17 years of experience in drug discovery in both the biotechnology (~3 years) and academic drug discovery settings. Over the past several years the primary focus of his research has been in the area of Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative tauopathies with specific collaborative programs directed towards the discovery and development of (a) tau aggregation inhibitors [e.g., Bioorg. Med. Chem., 2012, 20, 4451–61]; (b) microtubule-stabilizing agents [e.g., see J. Med. Chem., 2014, 57(14): 6116-27]; (c) thromboxane A2 receptor antagonists [e.g., see ACS Chem. Neurosci., 2012, 3(11): 928-40]; and (d) multi-targeted inhibitors of eicosanoid biosynthesis [e.g., see J. Med. Chem., 2017, 60(12), 5120-45]. In addition, the Ballatore laboratory is also actively involved in the investigation of basic, fundamental principles in medicinal chemistry, such as in the area of isosteric replacements [e.g., see J. Med. Chem., 2016, 59(7), 3183-203].
