Research

Applied Molecular Biosciences Unit

UCIBIO’s key strength lies on its broad scope of fundamental and applied research standing at the interface of Chemistry and Biology to address pertinent questions at atomic, molecular, sub-cellular and cellular levels, including cell-to-cell interactions and population evolutionary dynamics.

Associated Lab. for Green Chemistry - Clean Technologies and Processes

LAQV ́s mission is to cooperate in a continuous, competent and efficient way to achieve a Sustainable development by promoting new technologies that aim to reduce or even eliminate undesirable substances in the design, production and uses of Chemicals.

Mechanical Engineering and Resource Sustainability Center

Created in 2013, MEtRICs (Mechanical Engineering and Resource Sustainability Center) emerged in the merger of two units: in part the Center for Mechanics and Materials Technologies - CT2M, of the University of Minho (UMinho) - and Environmental Biotechnology Unit - UBiA, of the New University of Lisbon (UNova). Its mission is to create scientific knowledge and provide technical solutions for a cleaner, safer and sustainable world. It aims to contribute to the social and economic benefits that come with a knowledge-based economy.

Get to know DQ

DQ

The Department of Chemistry, is a permanent organic unity of the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT / UNL), devoted to teaching, and scientific research and to provide services in areas of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Chemical Engineering.

The Chemistry Department (DQ), Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade Nova de Lisboa , founded in 1981, has recognized market implementation of education and employment, particularly so because of the novelty and specificity introduced by the course in Chemistry with which teaching at the School of Chemistry began in 1981.
