BIODEST
BIODEST (Synthesis, Characterization, Structure and Properties of Novel Biodegradable Polyesters) Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) project aims to strengthen around student and staff exchanges with the aim to improve skills and knowledge of the participating partners and promote collaboration between four European Research organizations: University of the Basque Country (Spain), University of Mons (Belgium), University of Genova (Italy), and University of Warwick (U.K.) and five non-EU Research Organizations: University of Tulane (USA), Chinese Academy of Science (China), Simon Bolivar University (Venezuela), University of Stellenbosch (South Africa), and Yamagata University (Japan). Moreover the non-academic European organization “Ma+D - Waste Valorization Engineering” will collaborate in the networking activities. The project will provide support for the participating research organizations to establish or reinforce long-term research cooperation in the topic of novel biodegradable polyesters through a coordinated joint programme of exchange of researchers for short periods.
BOG group
Why "Bioorganic Chemistry"? It is because the main scientific interest of the group, that is organic synthesis, has always been intertwined with biological applications and biological means. Thus the group has synthesized biologically active molecules since 1983 (among them particularly noteworthy are beta-lactam antibiotics and enediynes) and has used biological tools for organic synthesis since 1985. The group is strongly active also in the synthesis of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. Recently, the group is becoming more and more interested in the chemical contribution to Bioeconomy.
DCCI
The Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry (DCIC) was set up in 1996, as a result of merging the four former departments of General Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry within the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Natural Sciences.
The department is housed in one building in Via Dodecaneso, adjacent to the Departments of Physics, Mathematics and Information Technology, and occupy the small valley of the Valle Puggia area. DCIC offers a three-year BSc degree course in Chemistry and Chemical Technologies and MSc degree courses in Chemical Sciences, Industrial Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering; It is the associate department for the three-year MSc degree course in Materials Science. It is also responsible for teaching various branches of chemistry as part of the degree courses in Physics, Natural and Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Geological Sciences and Biotechnologies. In addition, DCIC offers Phd courses in Chemical Technologies and Materials Science as well as several MSc courses.
