"The Laboratory for the Development of Materials for Biosystems (MATBIO) conducts research on multifunctional materials for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, polysaccharides and liposome systems, micro and nano structured systems and biosensors, molecular recognition processes in solution and at the solid/liquid interface, applications of infrared spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry for the study of biological materials and systems. High resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications are also being developed for model analysis studies of metabolic processes of unicellular organisms and studies of binder-receptor interaction.
Another field of research is the agrifood-energy sector, in particular with the study of processes of production and bio-transformation of vegetable biomass into biofuels and the development of processes of radiation transfer in aquatic ecosystems (analysis of dissolved organic components and interaction with solar and ultraviolet radiation, photodegradation and photoactivation for the production of biomass of aquatic origin).
Thanks to the most advanced technologies and specific know-how on cannabinoid chemistry, Materia Medica Processing (MMP) produces THC free highly tested products extracted from hemp. All the raw material comes from organic farming, non-GMO and of European origin only, produced by selected farmers whose MMP follows the entire production cycle. The extraction and purification technologies respect the phytochemical profile of the plant and allow a high concentration of cannabidiols (CBD), maintaining the entire spectrum of non-psychoactive terpenes and cannabinoids and at the same time eliminating all psychoactive compounds (THC Free).
The extraction and purification process takes place using only biological chemicals and food solvents. The uniformity and effectiveness of the extracts is tested and guaranteed by means of certificates of analysis issued for each production batch. MMP's analytical laboratory has years of experience in pharmaceutical extraction and CBD broad spectrum purification and uses the most advanced analytical techniques to offer a product in line with the highest standards.
MediBase srl, founded in 1995, operates in the field of phytotherapy and medical dietetics. It was one of the first companies to deal with nutraceuticals through the preparation of products exclusively addressed to the doctors and distributed through the pharmacies, parapharmacies, nursing homes and hospitals channel. All Medibase products are controlled by quantitative determinations and according to high quality standards. The formulation of preparations, the choice of active ingredients and their titration are carried out by the Research and Development department on the basis of accurate studies and analysis of clinical works, published in the most prestigious international scientific journals.
MediBase products include active preparations for the central nervous system, for cardiovascular prevention, gastrointestinal problems, chondroprotectors with anti-inflammatory activity and a new line specifically for children's products (Puer).
Nunacode S.r.l. is an innovative start-up founded in Florence on October 13, 2013. It has participated in the path of entrepreneurial pre-incubation at the University Incubator of Florence and has been recognized as an Academic Spin-Off of the University of Florence.
The mission of Nunacode S.r.l. is to develop innovative technological tools for nutritional education and surveillance.
Thanks to the collaboration with Distudio, a technological Ssart-up of the Florentine Chianti, they have developed the free application NUNA Nutritional Navigator, for Android and iOS smartphones, for nutritional education and the promotion of the Mediterranean diet.
