RESEARCH TOPICS


System and Synthetic Biology
ECLT actively works on theoretical and practical aspects related to the creation of synthetic proteins and new alternative biological structures. In addition, we exploit synthetic biology tools to dissect the interactome of biological networks relevant for human health.


Complex Systems
As part of its basic research, ECLT collaborators explore several fundamental aspects of complex dynamical systems and networks.


Evolutionary Statistics and Data Mining
This area involves the development of techniques for modeling and analyzing high dimensional data, including neural networks and genetic algorithms.


Biological Computation
Cells compute in ways that are different from those performed by computers. Using a novel approach to biocomputation, we are exploring the problem of how to build complex computations using engineered cells.


Innovation and Sustainability
This ambitious project proposes to examine in depth the relationship and interactions between two of the dominant issues of the day – how to achieve sustainability, and how to be innovative.


Sustainable Chemistry
Sustainable Chemistry aims at developing novel production processes in chemical industry with minimal environmental impact reducing emissions and excessive consumption of resources.


Renewable Energies
The need for renewable energy is a global concern, due to increasing energy consumption worldwide and the inevitable depletion of the world's oil reserves.


Bio-Architecture (Energy Efficiency)
In order to protect the global environment, it is necessary to reduce the amount of energy needed and consequently cut the carbon emissions in the atmosphere.
