Join a consortium as partner/Food biochemistry, microbiology and shelf-life&packaging

The University of Milan was founded in 1923 and currently has Departments, 62 research centers and more than 600 international agreements. The University of Milan is among the leading Italian Universities in terms of investment in research infrastructure and human capital and has always been committed to the development of research projects that have a strong impact on the quality of life of citizens. At the University, scientific activities involve the entire academic community - from professors, researchers, doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and scholarship holders to students on degree courses - in an ideal cognitive tension that is always capable of welcoming new stimuli.

we are looking for a consortium who needs partners with a deep-rooted experience in food biochemistry (structure, digestibility, bioavailability of molecules and their biological effects in cell cultures; food proteins and their modifications during processes, food enzymology), food and industrial microbiology (selection and application of food-grade bioprotective strains; utilization of food waste and lost for biomass production and/or high-value bioactive compounds; growth of medicinal mushrooms on agro-food wastes) and shelf-life and packaging.
