Search for bioactive compounds on tr(i)p receptors in mountain plants

The internships are part of a multidisciplinary research project that seeks to enhance the heritage of  herbal and edible plants of both local and global origin through the search for compounds with specific biological activity evaluated quantitatively through advanced molecular essays and techniques.

1.  An internship is available regarding hedge mustard (Sisymbrium officinale L.), a wild-type plant known as “singer’s grass” in Italian. The internship involves mapping and harvesting the plant and includes practical laboratory activities with the development of analytical methods for the quantification of bioactive compounds.
2.  An internship is available regarding Alliaria petiolata L., a spontaneous plant in Val Camonica. The internship involves mapping and harvesting the plant and includes practical laboratory activities with the development of analytical methods for the quantification of bioactive compounds.
