COSMESE research Projects are developed as shown: Plant
and Pharmaceutical Biology - with researches about Taxonomy, Ethnopharmacology, Physioecology,
Agronomic and biotechnologies studying on taxa showing
interesting practical prospectives. Biomasses for Phytochemistry and
Pharmacology research come from growed material resulting from autochthonous
germplasm; on this point COSMESE ensures that the agricoltural chain
follows rigorously international procedures in keeping Biodiversity. Accurate Extractive - with phytochemical analysis of
vegetal matrices realized with analytic and preparative principle through
extraction with
supercritical fluids. Pharmacology - with in vitro and in vivo screening on biologic activities
as anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral
and anti-HIV
activities; antimutogen/mutagen-protective and antiproliferative, apoptotic/antiapoptotic,
erythroid differentiation. Environment - with particular attention to vegetal resources in their complex interaction
with ecosystem. COSMESE collaborates with Public
Istitutions to risolve vegetal territorial emergencies, improving the
role of plants. Education -
with Research Doctorates and scholarships for graduates interested to applied
research. COSMESE, according to other institutions, developes
training and refresher courses for Doctors, Biologists, Chemists and
Pharmaceutical Chemists.
