Main research activities, related to the VISION project are acidogenic fermentation of residual organic matrices for the production of volatile fatty acids (VFA), recovery of hexanoic acid produced by acidogenic fermentation of grape pomace, production of non-conventional PHA microbial biopolymers with high hydroxyhexanoate (PHH) and 4-hydroxyvalerate (4-HV) content and anaerobic digestion of organic waste.

Main lab research activities focus on the study of the new “green plastics” (e.g. polydrossialcanoates),  on the fabrication of polymeric three dimensional scaffolds for tissue engineering and on the development of new material for optoelectronic devices.
