Your strategic partner

We are connecting basic science and the agricultural sector

Thanks to our academic experience and our extensive contacts network, we can develop tailor-made solutions for new problems in the agricultural sector.

Biostimulant validation

Biostimulant validation involves the rigorous evaluation of bioproducts and innovative solutions applicable to agriculture—such as biostimulants, biofertilizers, or alternative plant protection products—to ensure their efficacy and safety prior to commercial implementation. To achieve this, we perform differential gene expression analyses along with other molecular and physiological biomarkers, allowing us to precisely measure how the products influence physiological, metabolic, and defense processes in plants. By integrating molecular and physiological data, this approach provides detailed insights into mechanisms of action, biological responses, and the effectiveness of the solution under different conditions.

Technical validation trials

Technical validation trials involve the design and execution of controlled experiments aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of new protocols, techniques, or technologies applied to agriculture. These trials make it possible to accurately determine how the developed solutions perform under controlled conditions before their large-scale implementation. Throughout the process, both agronomic parameters—such as growth, yield, vigor, and resistance to pests or environmental stress—and molecular parameters, including gene expression, presence of specific markers, or genetic integrity, are monitored. This dual approach ensures that the solutions are not only effective in the laboratory but also reproducible and scalable under field conditions.

Molecular plant breeding program development

The planning of plant breeding programs involves the strategic design and comprehensive development of all the stages required to generate new plant varieties, adapted to the specific needs of each client and the demands of the market.From the initial selection of genetic material to the development of plants with the desired traits, our approach combines traditional breeding methods with cutting-edge technologies, including marker-assisted selection (MAS), advanced genomic analysis, and, when appropriate, gene editing for the precise introduction or modification of specific traits. This comprehensive approach makes it possible to accelerate development cycles, enhance selection efficiency, and ensure the generation of uniform, viable varieties with high added value, while maintaining traceability and genetic fidelity of the plant material.

Tailored bioinformatic analyses

Our custom bioinformatics analyses enable us to address complex biological questions through the integrated analysis of multiple layers of omics information. We apply advanced genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and metagenomic techniques to obtain a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the functioning and regulation of the biological systems under study.Thanks to optimized bioinformatics pipelines and multi-omics data integration methodologies, we can identify correlations, patterns, and biomarkers that would not be evident through individual analyses. This allows us to generate integrative and precise insights, supporting everything from plant breeding and biotechnology studies to biomedical research and the development of innovative products.
