University of Nova Gorica (UNG) provides access to knowledge, high quality education and incorporates nine different main research areas. One of them is covered by the Laboratory for Environmental Research which conducts basic and applied research in different areas of environmental sciences such as the investigation of photochemical and microbial degradation, and transport of pollutants in the environment; the development of laser-based methods, bioanalytical methods, and ecotoxicological tests for the identification and determination of toxic compounds and their effects on the environment; the development of new materials for applications in environmentally friendly technologies as well as the research in molecular biology and neurobiology. All in all, the main stream of our scientific work in TRANS2CARE project will be related to novel laser-based photothermal methods of chemical analysis coupled to bioanalytical assays and flow injection analysis.
