CELLS aims to use waste materials or by-products from various productive activities to EXTRACT, FUNCTION and SHAPE new materials and devices with applications in the Life Sciences. The modules EXTRACT and SHAPE are hosted at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB) and at the Department of Mechanical Engineering (DMEC); the module FUNCTION is hosted at the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering (CMIC). Each module hosts specific instrumentations, if interested please compile the form here.
