**About the Special Issue Editor**

**Stefano Serra** is a Senior Researcher of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) in the Istituto di Scienze e Tecnologie Chimiche (SCITEC), Milano. He received his laurea from the University of Pavia in 1995, working on the synthesis of the antitumoral triterpene saponaceolide B. One year later, he moved to the Politecnico of Milano, where he carried out studies on the use of enzymes in organic synthesis and on the stereoselective preparation of flavor and fragrances. In 2000, he was awarded a PhD in industrial chemistry from the University of Milano, and he became a researcher of the National Research Council in 2001. His scientific activity has been devoted to many aspects of organic synthesis and, above all, to the enantioselective preparation of chiral compounds and to the development of new synthetic methods.
