ANANAS Nanotech was founded in 2007 as a spin-off of the University of Padua after a group of researchers discovered the ANANAS nanoparticles, an innovative nanoassembly system of colloidal poly-avidin, that allow a high sensitive detection for in vitro diagnostics in different applicative sectors: Biomedical, Veterinary and food monitoring. The ANANAS are a unique kind of poly-avidin nanoparticles obtained through a process of natural self-assembly which guarantees high composition and performance reproducibility. The nanoparticles ANANAS can be used alone or in combination with other reactive ANANAS as tools in the diagnostic laboratory and research use. They can be functionalized with multiple biotinylated elements with different properties (antibodies, receptors, fluorophores, drugs, peptides...), that can be placed on their surface at stoichiometrically controlled molar ratios. Depending on the elements inserted, one can obtain nanoparticles with different functional properties. ANANAS nanoparticles are useful in vitro diagnostic such as molecular amplifier of the signal compared to commercially available

Among the microbiome modulation strategies, one of the most interesting and promising is fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), a medical procedure in which stool from a healthy donor is introduced into a patient's intestines as a medical treatment. FMT has also been applied in veterinary medicine to treat intestinal ailments of ruminants and equines since the 17th century. An increasing number of veterinarians are exploring this option despite no official guidelines yet, as the potential benefits of FMT in restoring animal health are now evident from human studies. In this scenario, Eubiome intends to offer fecal biobank services in an attempt to meet the growing need for safe, standardized, rapid and economical access to the material necessary for the practice of FMT, both in the field of research and in veterinary care, in particular as far as pets are concerned. Since its establishment, Eubiome is dealing with the legislative part related to the procedure and standardization of the methods necessary for the collection and storage of fecal material. In addition, it is developing a series of collaborations with veterinarians for the creation of a functional network for the implementation of these procedures and the collection of data for research purposes

The ISOLPHARM Project was born from the collaboration between the Departments of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences, the Department of Chemical Sciences of the University of Padova and the Legnaro National Laboratories (LNL) of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) where the Selective Production of Exotic Species (SPES) Project is under development. By means of the Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) technique both traditional and innovative radioisotopes will be produced with high-specific activity, going beyond the state of art of the radioisotope production
