Experience & Activities
Doctor Mario Concetto Foti was born in Mascali (CT) on 8 December 1961, he graduated cum laude in pure chemistry in 1988 at the University of Catania, and in 1995 he was awarded the title of PhD by the Federico II University of Naples. From January 1999 he started working as a researcher of the Italian CNR and later has started developing kinetic models for antioxidants. From 1992 to 1994, he worked at the “National Research Council” (Ottawa, Canada), in the laboratory of Dr. Keith U. Ingold, distinguished scientist of the NRC. Later (2000 – 2001) he worked as “Research Associate” at the laboratory of Prof. Ross Barclay of the Mount Allison University of Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada, where he worked on naphthalen-1,8-di-olic antioxidants. In the academic years 2010 to 2012 he was appointed adjunct professor at the Faculty of Pharmacy teaching “Principles of General Chemistry” to students of Herbal Sciences and Nutraceuticals.
