Functional metagenomics and Synthetic microbial ecology

Functional metagenomics constitute a powerful tool for the discovery of novel enzymes of biotechnological interest.

Plant secondary metabolism – synthetic biology tools

Plants produce a vast diversity of compounds collectively known as specialized (or secondary) metabolites. Our research focuses on the specialized (secondary) metabolism in plants, and particularly in the biosynthesis and functional role of triterpenes.

Plant-Derived Bioactive Compounds for Cancer Therapy and Molecular Diagnosis

This research project focuses on the identification of bioactive compounds derived from plants and the evaluation of their anticancer potential.
