Antimicrobial materials for wound treatment
Biotechnological materials that use nature as a source of inspiration are being developed by Raul Machado, Assistant Researcher at the CBMA. The aim of this technology is to avoid the use of antibiotics and other agents in the treatment of wounds that may be less biocompatible and, thus circumvent any problem to antimicrobial resistance

Help us save the planet from plastics!
Let's help us to save the planet from plastics!
The Project Bio3Pas intends to use aquatic fungi to degrade plastics. Using fungi from the collection of the Centre of Molecular and Environmental Biology, with a high capacity to break chemical bonds similar to those found in plastics, we hope to achieve a way to help the planet to be free of plastics, minimizing their negative impacts on aquatic fauna, especially birds, turtles, and cetaceans.
