The BluBio Department investigates possible applications of marine natural products in the biomedical ad environmental sectors. With cutting-edge technologies it is possible to rapidly identify and isolate metabolites and compounds from different organisms, then functional assays are conducted to confirm their potential bioactivity
The MOTax Unit, part of the RIMAR department, has long-standing experience in the taxonomy of a wide range of marine organisms. It is dedicated to exploring the rich diversity of ocean life through an integrated approach combining morphological and molecular methods. Accurate species identification is crucial for biodiversity assessment, ecological research, environmental monitoring, and biotechnological applications
