Biological sciences

The objective of the research is increased profitability, safe food production, employment and value creation in Norway. The division educates and does research related to farm animal husbandry. Veterinary studies like farm animal health and farm animal nursing are important. Within farm animal production, precision livestock farming is essential, with focus on animal welfare and efficient production.

The division focuses on basic organisms in aquatic ecosystems, where both microalgae, bacteria and fungi play an important role. Research in blue-biome science and technology focuses on basic organisms in aquatic ecosystems, where both microalgae, bacteria and fungi play an important role, as well as how these organisms individually or in ecological societies interact.

Besides studying osteological remains, she specialises in the anatomo-clinical analysis of ancient texts and artworks in order to identify the historical presentation and evolution of diseases throughout history. She is also specialises in the field of anatomical education.

The group is dedicated to the following research activities:

1) Construction of mathematical models based on partial and ordinary differential equations linked to the description of phenomena arising in different applied fields, in particular ecology and engineering;

2) Extension of nonlocal elasticity theories based on stress-driven spatial convolutions;

The research activities of the Biological Sciences group focus on the following main areas.

1) Identification of new molecules targeting enzymes involved in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.

2) Central and local control of reproduction in mammalian and non-mammalian vertebrates by cannabinoids, environmental pollutants and endocrine disruptors.

CEOT is a research center based in the University of Algarve that was established in 2003 as a result of a collaborative effort of several young scientists in the areas of electronics, optoelectronics and telecommunications. Today CEOT is composed of a multidisciplinary blend of researchers in the fields of informatics, computer science, electronics, physics and biology, following a research strategy towards an integrated approach to networks, electronics and sensing applications in biology.
