Vincenzo Palmacci

Vincenzo Palmacci is an IRTA Postdoctoral Fellow at the NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), where he develops machine-learning and molecular-modeling approaches for computational drug discovery, including bioactivity prediction, molecular docking, and compound prioritization. Previously, he worked as a Machine Learning Scientist at Bayer and as a Visiting Scientist in Molecular AI at AstraZeneca, focusing on large-scale screening data, assay interference, multitask learning, and human-in-the-loop molecular design. He conducted his doctoral research as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the University of Vienna and holds degrees in Bioinformatics and Industrial Chemistry from the University of Bologna. His research bridges cheminformatics, artificial intelligence, and experimental drug discovery.
