This research group is interested in:
- the study of biomineralization processes in marine organisms;
- the synthesis of biomaterials;
- the reapplication of biological materials (especially waste materials);
- the structure determination of biological macromolecules;
- the preparation of innovative substrates for protein crystallization.
The group principal investigators are Prof. Giuseppe Falini (materials and biomineralization) and Prof. Simona Fermani (protein crystallization).
