Giovanna is the Scientific Responsible of the BioSurf project for UniMi unit  

Marco is currently involved in the chemical and chemoenzymatic synthesis of SFAEs as well as in their structural characterization by spectroscopic techniques (NMR and mass spectroscopy) (WP2 "Enzymatic synthesis of SFAEs")

Sara is mainly involved in the activities of WP2 ("Enzymatic synthesis of SFAEs") and WP3 ("Physicochemical characterization of bio-based surfactants"). Specifically, she has set-up a chemoenzymatic synthesis of SFAEs and has measured their interfacial properties 

Francesco is involved both in the search of new enzymes from yeasts for application in the BioSurf biotransformations  (WP1 "Fatty acids and sugar from biomass") and in the study of in-flow reactions (WP4 "Process intensification by flow chemistry")

Concetta is leading scientist and supervisor of all the activities  concerning SCO (Single Cell Oil) production by yeast fermentation (WP1 "Fatty acids and sugar from biomass")

Paolo plays a key role in supporting whey permeate management and storage, also assisting in WP1 activities ("Fatty acids and sugar from biomass")

The expertise of Silvia in yeast biotechnology is exploited in WP1 ("Fatty acids and sugar from biomass") for the production of microbial lipids as starting material for SFAE production

Andrea is growing oleaginous yeasts on whey permeate to produce microbial lipids as starting material for SFAE production (WP1 "Fatty acids and sugar from biomass")

Lucia is working on the design and optimization of new automatable and scalable flow protocols for the sustainable synthesis and in-line purification of novel non-ionic surfactants using amino sugar building blocks (WP4 "Process intensification by flow chemistry")

The expertise of Giuseppe in the field of stability of lyophobic colloidal systems is exploited for the physico-chemical characterization of the bio-based surfactants and emulsion formulation (WP3 "Physicochemical characterization of bio-based surfactants")

Alessandro is mainly involved in the activities of WP5 "Economic and environmental sustainability assessment" aimed at assessing the overall economic sustainability of SFAE production based on the specific data gathered within the project BioSurf

Elisa will mainly contribute to the activities of WP5 "Economic and environmental sustainability assessment" of SFAE production. Cost and benefit analysis along with market analysis will provide a deep insight on the impact of SFAE from an economic and social welfare standpoint
