Mission
Mission of the Laboratory is to conjugate micro and nano-technologies with genomic and proteomic applications to produce innovative materials, devices and characterization techniques. Focus of the Lab is the development of advanced devices for diagnostics and therapeutics in the biomedical, pharmacological and food fields, in particular for DNA, RNA, proteins and cells analysis. These devices must be highly integrated and capable to perform automatically many precise biochemical assays.
