The Santa Chiara Fab Lab is a strategic project of the University of Siena, born in 2016 as a digital manufacturing laboratory and co-design space. The Fab Lab is specialised in additive and subtractive manufacturing, it is equipped with cuttingedge equipment for the rapid prototyping of Internet of Things, wearable technology and smart objects. The research domains include the cultural heritage, healthcare, and Made in Italy
We are a synthetic organic group specializing in making molecules with stimuli responsive properties. We assemble molecules to make nanocontainers that are responsive to stimuli such as light, pH and chemical stimuli for applications in drug delivery.
The scientific interests of the research group of Vegetation Scienceinclude botany,vegetation scienceandconservation biology. Our focus is on plant communities and their habitat. The research revolves aroundbiodiversityand includes an understanding ofhabitatsat different spatial scales.
Our research activity adopts a ONE HEALTH approach while applying post genomics (proteomics, metabolomics), cell biology, biochemistry, computational biochemistry and AI in Life Sciences, sustainable pharmaceuticals and circular bioeconomy.
The research activity is focused on basic research projects based on the ONE HEALTH principle . The activity mainly aims to evaluate the benefits for human health of compounds extracts of ornamental plants or foods with particular attention to the principles of local biodiversity and bioeconomy
Research interests of the group focus on the study of insects, and soil fauna in general, of naturalistic as well as agricultural interest. Methodologies employed are taxonomy, molecular evolution, evolutionary genetics, population genetics, metagenomics, genomics, bioinformatics.
LEMOS aims to spread a new culture of 'moving well', also due to important innovations of the last period, such as the revival of the use of bicycles, shared mobility and electric motors for cars and motorbikes.
The group works in the following research line: self-incompatibility to improve crops and agricultural production. environmental stresses to study the effects of environmental stresses on plants. genetic traceabiliy and food safety to identify and verify the origin and quality of food products through molecular biology techniques
The research group works on: sustainable economy, new technologies, communication, digital heritage, and applied sciences to cultural heritage are the five interdisciplinary themes that are: sustainable economy of cultural heritage. new technologies in cultural heritage research. communication of cultural heritage. digital heritage. cultural heritage and applied sciences
The research activity focuses on the design and characterization of new sensitizers for innovative energy conversion systems from renewable sources and for hydrogen production.
