Sebastiano Pasqualato, Ph.D., is a structural biologist and protein crystallographer with experience in biochemistry and biophysics.

He earned his Ph.D. from Université Paris XI/CNRS, then worked, as an EMBO postdoctoral fellow at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO) in Milan, where he subsequently assumed the role of manager of the Biochemistry and Structural Biology Unit.

He is, since 2021, Senior Manager of the Biophysics Unit of the National Facility for Structural Biology at Human Technopole, which supports both intramural researchers and the national scientific community with advanced biophysical techniques, structural analysis, and collaborative research opportunities aimed at unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying key biological processes.

Dr. Pasqualato has co-authored influential publications, including studies on kinetochore-microtubule attachments, the structural dynamics of GTP-binding proteins, and the mechanisms of E3 ubiquitin ligases (H-index 26 – google scholar)
