Innovation Products
- Capabilities | Development of intelligent and active food labels
Development of smart food labels based on models for oxidation, microbial growth, etc. that let consumers know when food is no longer fit to eat, helping to prevent food waste, and give information on freshness, package temperature, etc.
- Capabilities | Threat assessment and critical control points along seafood value chains
Assessment and development of protocols to identify the most problematic areas and products in terms of microbial contamination and parasitic infestation along the value chain of seafood products.
- Software | SYNBADm: a toolbox for automatic optimal design in synthetic biology
SYNBADm is a Matlab-based toolbox for the automatic design of biological circuits with targeted functions from component libraries.

- Capabilities | Conservation, protection and rehabilitation of marine ecosystems
The conservation, protection, and rehabilitation of marine ecosystems and the mitigation of impacts using adaptation strategies. This includes identifying key considerations for the potential design and planning of biodiversity compensation measures and their scope in environmental impact assessments.
- Software | GLOBALm: a clustering method for constrained global optimization problems in Matlab
Method described in Csendes, T., L. Pal, J.O.H. Sendin, J.R. Banga (2008) The GLOBAL Optimization Method Revisited. Optimization Letters, 2(4):445-454.
Software available upon request (email us if interested).
- Capabilities | Development of bioindicators for environmental monitoring
Characterization and measurement of micro-physiological responses or molecular markers generated in response to environmental conditions for the development of an early warning system for environmental perturbations.
- Capabilities | Development of intelligent sensors for the optimization of food processing and conservation
Development of non-invasive methods and technologies (i.e. hyperspectral imaging technology) for quality inspection of food products.
- Capabilities | Development of management and decision-making tools based on modeling and simulated scenariosCoastal & Environmental Protection Maritime Spatial Planning Ecosystem Services & Governance Aquaculture Fisheries
Development of space-specific tools for assessment, management and decision-making by modeling the impacts of present and possible future environmental scenarios (pollution, climate change, etc.) on oceanographic conditions, biodiversity distribution, physiological response or fisheries and aquaculture performance.
- Software | AMIGO2: Advanced Modelling and Identification using Global Optimization, version 2
AMIGO2 is a MATLAB-based multiplatform toolbox designed to solve mathematical optimization problems at the core of systems biology, within the context of parametric model identification, the underlying hypothesis for model development and the optimal control of biological systems to synthetically achieve the desired behavior.

- Capabilities | Integrative Biodiversity Research
The study of biodiversity with an integrative approach. This involves examining biodiversity at multiple levels, from genes to ecosystems, and considering the interactions between biodiversity and human activities, including the provision of ecosystem services.
