- Capabilities | Quantification of anthropogenic impacts on water quality
Analysis of acidification, eutrophication and concentration of different pollutants (PAHs, heavy metals, emerging contaminants, etc.) on water samples, as well as of their impact on biological and geochemical processes.
- Capabilities | Control of traceability and labelling
Development of specific biomarkers and -omic techniques to quantify allergens and to track species composition and geographical origin for quality traceability and prevention of food fraud and unregulated fisheries.
- Software | saCeSS: a parallel global optimization library
The saCeSS library allows solving non-linear programming (NLP) and mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problems. It also offers efficient local solvers for nonlinear parameter estimation problems associated with complex models (e.g. those described by differential equations).

- Capabilities | Bioremediation
Microbiological treatment of oil spills (bioremediation) in marine environments. Application of dispersants and coastal cleaning agents under ecotoxicologically safe conditions to remove oil adhered to rock surfaces.
- Software | SensSB: toolbox for the development and Sensitivity analysis of Systems Biology models
Authors: M. Rodríguez-Fernández and J. R. Banga
Description: SensSB is an easy-to-use Matlab®-based sensitivity analysis software toolbox. This tool integrates a variety of local and global sensitivity methods that can be applied to biological models described by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) or differential algebraic equations (DAEs). SensSB is also able to import models in the Systems Biology Mark-up Language (SBML) format.
Available here upon request.
- Capabilities | Characterization of photosynthetic properties and by-products of phytoplankton
Characterization of the photosynthetic properties and by-products of different phytoplankton species under laboratory, industrial farming and natural conditions.
- 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.
- 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.
