Ivano Bertini (chemist)
Ivano Bertini (December 6, 1940 – July 7, 2012) was an Italian chemist recognized for his significant contributions in the field of bioinorganic chemistry, particularly in NMR spectroscopy of metalloproteins. Early life and education Bertini was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1940. He completed his graduation in 1964 at the University of Florence in inorganic chemistry, under the guidance of Luigi Sacconi. After graduation, he became Sacconi's assistant and started his research in inorganic physical chemistry and isomerism in coordination compounds. He had his first trips abroad to the Zurich Polytechnic in 1965 and Princeton University, where he began his studies of bioinorganic chemistry using NMR. Career In 1975, Bertini became a full professor of chemistry at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Florence, and in 1981, at the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences. He founded the European Magnetic Resonance Center ( CERM), based at the Scientific Campus of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pisa
Pisa ( ; ) is a city and ''comune'' (municipality) in Tuscany, Central Italy, straddling the Arno just before it empties into the Ligurian Sea. It is the capital city of the Province of Pisa. Although Pisa is known worldwide for the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the city contains more than twenty other historic churches, several medieval palaces, and bridges across the Arno. Much of the city's architecture was financed from its history as one of the Italian maritime republics. The city is also home to the University of Pisa, which has a history going back to the 12th century, the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, founded by Napoleon in 1810, and its offshoot, the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies.Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna di Pisa Information statistics History ...

Accademia Nazionale Dei Lincei
The (; literally the "Academy of the Lynx-Eyed"), anglicised as the Lincean Academy, is one of the oldest and most prestigious European scientific institutions, located at the Palazzo Corsini on the Via della Lungara in Rome, Italy. Founded in the Papal States in 1603 by Federico Cesi, the academy was named after the lynx, an animal whose sharp vision symbolizes the observational prowess that science requires. Galileo Galilei was the intellectual centre of the academy and adopted "Galileo Galilei Linceo" as his signature. "The Lincei did not long survive the death in 1630 of Cesi, its founder and patron", and "disappeared in 1651." During the nineteenth century, it was revived, first in the Papal States and later in the nation of Italy. Thus the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, established in 1936, claims this heritage as the ''Accademia Pontificia dei Nuovi Lincei (''"Pontifical Academy of the New Lynxes"'')'', founded in 1847, descending from the first two incarnations of t ...
