The National Research Council of Italy (CNR)

General goal of the Institute of Agricultural Biology and Biotechnology is the development of fundamental knowledge, and valorization of biodiversity as well as for all genetic, technological, and biotechnological applications in the agricultural field. CNR deals with the analysis of plant metabolism present in the diet and their protective role in inflammation and
oxidative stress. Evaluation of nutraceutical properties of foods by in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo studies.
