About us

The Department of Bioinformatics and Artificial Intelligence Applications has a state-of-the-art molecular biology laboratory equipped with advanced equipment for nucleic acid analysis. Our laboratory enables: DNA extraction, DNA synthesis on a chip, DNA amplification, nanopore sequencing. We are currently carrying out a number of research tasks, including:

Developing software to automate the design of DNA diagnostic tests.

DNA Tagging and DNA Computing: Research on the use of DNA in advanced information and computing systems.

Developing a new algorithm for encoding data in DNA: a multidisciplinary project integrating computer science with molecular biology to develop algorithms that increase the density of data storage in DNA and ensure high durability and efficiency in reading information from nucleic acid polymers.

Research

DNA Tagging, understood as the marking of physical objects with DNA, is an area of research that takes advantage of the unique properties of nucleic acids to identify, track and secure a variety of objects and materials. The technology is based on the insertion of specific (usually) synthetic DNA sequences as "tags" that can later be read using advanced molecular techniques. Applications of DNA Tagging range from product and packaging security to supply chain traceability to identification of biological samples in scientific research area . The uniqueness and vast information capacity of DNA make this technology an extremely attractive alternative to traditional tagging methods.

The implementation of DNA Tagging faces a number of challenges, both technical and biological.
