In collaboration with its academic and industrial partners, ARCHES is carrying out research projects for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. These include research activities in the field of health, environment and renewable energy.

Regarding the health sector, we aim to develop new strategies to prevent colon cancer and inflammatory bowel disease using natural derived immuno-active products. These research activities, coordinated by Marcello Chieppa, are conducted in collaboration with several research and academic centres both in Europe and US.

Specific research efforts are also devoted to developing MR protocols for the clinical investigation of some diffused pathologies of the skeletal system such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. However, also rare pathologies such as osteogenesis imperfecta are investigated in collaboration with "Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza" at S. Giovanni Rotondo (Italy). Renato Toffanin is the coordinator of these research projects. Learn more ...

Regarding the use of renewable energy sources, special attention is given to the development of new generation solar cells. The aim is to develop photovoltaic technologies with high conversion efficiency and moderate production costs for widespread applications These research activities are coordinated by Vincent Aroulmoji.

       Supporting ARCHES

        Why support our research?

        While all efforts are devoted to the advancement of knowledge in specific sectors, our resources are not always adequate to address the many challenges our research poses.

        Financial support is needed to continue these efforts more effectively.

        Each donation helps us explore new avenues of research, and each is an incentive to find concrete solution for the sustainable development of our society.

           Importantly, this private giving provides us with the opportunity to make real advances in our research fields and gives critical support to our young investigators.
