Say hi to our team

Full Professor of Industrial Microbiology and Chemistry of Fermentation. The main scientific activity aims to the understanding of the basic knowledge required to project industrial processes involving microorganisms. These studies include the genetic improvement of microbial strains of industrial interest, metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, control and validation of fermentation processes in use in the pharmaceutical, food and environmental industry. The research group has developed, patented and licensed the technology for production and secretion of heterologous proteins, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, PLA and for the selection of mutant strains over producing organic acids.

Gianluca Della Vedova is full professor of Computer Science at the University of Milano - Bicocca (UNIMIB). His research activity focuses on algorithms in Bioinformatics and especially in computational pangenomics, phylogeny inference, and alternative splicing prediction. Within ELIXIR-IT, he has organized several training events and he is the UNIMIB representative in the General Assembly.

Yuri is a researcher specializing in algorithms and data structures for bioinformatics, with a focus on genomic and transcriptomic sequence analysis and assembly. My work encompasses computational and parameterized complexity, haplotype inference and reconstruction, and the application of evolutionary metaheuristics and genetic programming to complex biological problems.
