The Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology – FaBiT was established to develop an innovative and multidisciplinary project, and today aims to become a reference point at both local and global level in all the fields in which we specialise.
The department is based in Bologna and teaching activities also take place at the Imola site and the Rimini Campus.
Our scientific mission is divided into two main strands:
- the study of biological systems and the molecular mechanisms underlying physiological and pathological processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and the development of innovative biotechnologies;
- the study and development of medicines and healthcare products with regard to their biochemical, physiological, pharmacotoxicological, chemical and technological aspects.
This dual focus is unique within the Italian university landscape, but is in line with academic and corporate environments at European and global levels.
