Mr. Giulianotti’s research focuses on identifying potential human therapeutics and diagnostics as well as agricultural treatments. The research group combines novel approaches in combinatorial chemistry, computer-aided drug design and mathematics. The research group is currently involved in a number of different interdisciplinary projects with internal and external collaborators focusing in areas such as pain management, cancer, obesity, stroke and citrus greening.

Marc Giulianotti earned his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Biochemistry from the University of California, San Diego in 1995 and his Masters in Business Administration from San Diego State University in 2001. Marc joined the Torrey Pines Institute as a Research Associate in 1995 and his research focused on design of novel combinatorial libraries. He held this position until 2001 and then became the Business Development Manager for Mixture Sciences, Inc., a Torrey Pines spin-off company. Marc was tapped as Director of Chemistry Operations for the Torrey Pines Institute's Florida base in June 2007.
