DEB of Science 2025: The Department of Ecological and Biological Sciences of the University of Tuscia presents its research activities to the city

On Monday, October 6th, 2025, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the Aula Magna of the Santa Maria in Gradi complex at the University of Tuscia will host the first DEB of Science, a day dedicated to science communication and exchange, promoted by the Department of Ecological and Biological Sciences (DEB). The event will primarily focus on topics in biology and ecology, though not exclusively. Following the institutional greetings, DEB faculty members will present some of the department’s most innovative research projects, ranging from the potential use of new molecules derived from marine fungi to cancer treatment through oligonucleotides, from the challenges of applied mathematics in biology to hybridization and phenotypic plasticity. At the end of the session, a short coffee break will be offered. The morning will then continue in the medieval cloister with a poster session showcasing DEB’s research projects and academic programs, providing a unique opportunity for direct interaction among researchers, students, and the general public. The scientific outreach at the heart of this initiative aims to inform and inspire citizens, with a particular focus on young people and businesses, fostering the creation of new synergies and professional careers. The event, held in partnership with Porta Futuro Lazio (PFL) and under the patronage of Rome Technopole, will take place in a hybrid format.
