Divisione Biotecnologie e Agroindustria
The biotechnology laboratory are focused on research, development and transfer activities in the fields of new biotechnologies for molecular diagnostics of agri-food productions: green biotech, red biotech and nano-biotech.
The biotechnologies research areas are developed by biotechnology platform for the application of “omic” sciences to agri-food diagnostics and the improvement of cultivated plants and biotechnology platform for the formulation of new generation, plant-produced biopharmaceuticals and vaccines.
The Laboratory performs research on and promotes innovation aimed at developing sustainable and competitive production systems of the areas food and non-food, exploiting biological resources, plant species, microbial by-products and waste pursuing the overall goal of developing products and processes through the use of innovative enabling technologies (KETs), for applications in the agro-food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical.
