UNIVERSITY OF TURIN (DBIOS) DEPARTMENT OF LIFE SCIENCE AND BIOLOGY successfully completed the first main ACTIVITY of the project from a scientific point of view.
A year and a half of research and monitoring have produced remarkable scientific results that will be at the bases of the success of the project.
