Beyond Plastic research program
Beyond Plastic focuses on marine biology, ocean sustainability, ecological monitoring and the computational study of pollution, biodiversity and antimicrobial resistance in aquatic ecosystems.
The project connects AI, genomics, conservation biology and materials intelligence to protect marine life and future water systems.
Beyond Plastic: an ocean of solutions
Innovation and Sustainability in the Field of Marine Biology
In our scientific journey, we fuse probabilistic genomics with the computational power of supercomputers and AI
These tools are not only our trusted allies, but they are critical to navigating the complex challenges of marine biology and conservation
With a keen eye on the rise of antimicrobial resistance and the emergence of cancer and infectious diseases in unexplored ecosystems, we are committed to deciphering and preserving the diversity of marine life
It is a journey of continuous discovery, where science meets sustainability to protect our aquatic world for future generations
Probabilistic Genomics a discipline that uses AI-generated predictive models to simulate large-scale mutations
Anticipating marine dynamics by using probabilistic genomics: examples of predictive models and their impact on marine conservation
We process genomic data and compute predictions and models that have the potential to reveal previously obscure interactions and dynamics
This approach makes it possible to anticipate and model the response of marine ecosystems to anthropogenic pressures, including the incidence of microplastic and nanoplastic contamination
Through predictive computational models, we outline evolutionary scenarios and identify effective mitigation strategies
Development of Virtual Molecules and MicroRNAs
Virtual molecules and MicroRNAs: their role in the fight against viruses, antimicrobial resistance and improvement of human genome
Development of Virtual Molecules and MicroRNAs: creation of virtual molecules and MicroRNAs to fight viruses and AMRs, and for the improvement of human genome
These molecules can be fundamental in the study of the effects of microplastics on marine organisms, offering new perspectives for the neutralization of pollutants and for the restoration of the health of aquatic ecosystems
Environmental Protection
Conservation of the Mediterranean marine ecosystem
The conservation of its delicate balance is a challenge that embraces multiple aspects, from the protection of biodiversity to the fight against pollution, from the sustainable management of fish resources to the mitigation of climate change
Commitment to Environmental Protection
our environmental responsibility extends to the preservation of the integrity of the Mediterranean marine ecosystem and to ensuring public health, therefore, it is not limited to a question of ecological ethics, but is a concrete commitment to future generations
AI Matrix: Monitoring and Analysis Biomarkers
An AI matrix for the analysis of the state of marine organisms and to assess the impact of nanoplastics on specific organisms at the macro level
The Status of the Living Organism: machine learning on images, weights, sizes, age, responsiveness, agility and coordination to identify and monitor marine ecosystem issues
AI Matrix 2: Macro Analysis and Continuous Fine-tuning
Importance of constant adaptation and development work based on data and feedback from researcher
The status of organs with bio-markers and adequate genetic analysis, and the communication systems between them
Examination of data obtained from the analysis of tissue samples from marine organisms exposed to nanoplastics
Through the use of biomarkers and genomic analysis, with the data generated, we find changes at the cellular level and biochemical signals that facilitate communication between the various tissues
Possible present and future mutations are identified
AI Matrix 3: Deciphering the Impact of Nanoplastics on Marine Biology
An In-Depth Look at the Cellular Level
Analyses of cell status and at the cellular level, on organelles and their internal communication systems
Identification of nanoplastics and getting clues about how they affect marine biology
Finding out possible present and future mutations
