BSRG
The goal of the Biological Sciences Research Group (BSRG) is to conduct multidisciplinary research in fundamental and applied biological sciences combining Molecular and Cellular Biology, Biochemistry, Functional, Comparative, and Meta- Genomics and Bioinformatics, and exploring Systems and Synthetic Microbiology strategies to understand how biological systems orchestrate multiple functions, envisaging the efficient exploitation/control of their activities in Health, Industrial, Environmental and Agro-Food Biotechnology.
