Laboratory Biotechnologies

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.
