Technology transfer
Inclusion in EU project
Activities
The centre recently concluded (30.06.2009) the foundation and start phases and can thus realise the project selected by the Ministry for Universities and Research. It will commence work immediately.
International cooperations
In all operative areas of high tech biology: red biotechnology, white biotechnology, green biotechnology and bio-informatics.
Research and Development
Project
Description
Genotype determination of agricultural, location-typical products of Southern Italy with a high sales potential by means of DNA-technologies (gene amplification, sequencing, gene expression).
Aim
Application of high-tech breeding technologies for the optimisation of the diversity of species of breeds of animals with a high commercial value and for the protection of national or of species threatened with extinction.
