Research and managerial support to an outstation of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering

and Biotechnology (ICGEB) (A United Nations Organization). Principle aim of the research was to

develop methods for the introduction of virus resistance (mainly by transgenesis) into cultivated

crops while at the same time assessing the potential hazards such crops pose. Improved transferral

of this knowledge and technology was aimed specifically at developing countries. This was set-up as

a five-year UN project. A further five year extension was anticipated prior to the 2008 financial crisis;

80% of our funding came from a banking foundation (Fondazione Cassamarca-UniCredit Group).
