Research
Research projects, activities and opportunitiesFor us, research is a fundamental element for social and economic development, contributing to progress, wellbeing and social cohesion.
This is why the University of Verona supports quality interdisciplinary research, international collaborations and the sharing of results to benefit our society, culture and economy.
Departments and research
The University of Verona stands out for its commitment to cutting-edge scientific research, both basic and applied, across a wide range of disciplines.
Research is organized into four major areas, each consisting of departments focused on specific fields. Specifically, the University offers:
- 3 departments in Humanities
- 3 departments in Law and Economics
- 4 departments in Life and Health Sciences
- 3 departments in Natural Sciences and Engineering (with one shared with the Life Sciences area)
This structure fosters a multidisciplinary and innovative research environment, making the University of Verona a key player in scientific and academic development.

Social preferences under the shadow of the future
Social interactions frequently take place under the shadow of the future. Previous literature explains cooperation in indefinitely repeated prisoner’s dilemma as driven predominantly by self-interested strategic considerations. This paper provides a causal test of the importance of social preferences in such contexts. In a series of pre-registered experiments, we show that high levels of cooperation can be sustained when prosocial individuals interact in segregated groups. By comparing their beh...
Polysaccharide degradation in an Antarctic bacterium: Discovery of glycoside hydrolases from remote regions of the sequence space
Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are enzymes involved in the degradation of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. The sequence space of GHs is rapidly expanding due to the increasing number of available sequences. This expansion paves the way for the discovery of novel enzymes with peculiar structural and functional properties. This work is focused on two GHs, Ps_GH5 and Ps_GH50, from the genome of the Antarctic bacterium Pseudomonas sp. ef1. These enzymes are in an unexplored region of the sequence s...
Endo-1,4-β-D-xylanase Assay Using Azo-Xylan and Variants Thereof
: Xylan is the main component of hemicellulose and consists of a complex heteropolysaccharide with a heterogeneous structure. This framework, in addition to the crystalline structure of cellulosic fibers and the rigidity of lignin, makes lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) highly recalcitrant to degradation. Xylanases are glycoside hydrolases that cleave the β-1,4-glycoside linkages in the xylan backbone and have attracted increasing attention due to their potential uses in various industrial sectors ...
Special Issue: “Microbial Enzymes for Biotechnological Applications”
Microbial biocatalysts are at the forefront of modern biotechnology, offering sustainable solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental and industrial challenges [1]. These powerful tools represent about 90% of the enzyme market, driven by their rapid growth, ease of manipulation, and versatile application potential compared to biocatalysts from plant and animal sources [2]. As the global push towards a circular economy accelerates, microbial enzymes are emerging as critical ...
Prebiotic synthesis of the major classes of iron-sulfur clusters
Conditions that led to the synthesis of iron-sulfur clusters coordinated to tripeptides with a single thiolate ligand were investigated by UV-vis, NMR, EPR, and M & ouml;ssbauer spectroscopies and by electrochemistry. Increasing concentrations of hydrosulfide correlated with the formation of higher nuclearity iron-sulfur clusters from mononuclear to [2Fe-2S] to [4Fe-4S] and finally to a putative, nitrogenase-like [6Fe-9S] complex. Increased nuclearity was also associated with decreased dynam...

Visiting Professors
Networking e InternazionalizzazioneL'ateneo promuove la presenza di ricercatori e docenti internazionali per attività di didattica e di ricerca attraverso specifici finanziamenti per la mobilità in ingresso degli ospiti internazionali.
Un Visiting Professor è un docente o ricercatore di alto livello proveniente da un'istituzione straniera, invitato per un periodo limitato a svolgere attività accademiche.
Annualmente vengono pubblicati i bandi "Visiting" ricompresi all'interno del Programma di internazionalizzazione di ateneo che finanziano soggiorni di ricerca e/o di didattica a Verona, oltre che l'attribuzione di interi insegnamenti a docenti internazionali. Inoltre, i Dipartimenti dispongono di appositi finanziamenti, finalizzati ad accrescere la dimensione internazionale della didattica all'interno dei Corsi di studio, anche attraverso la partecipazione di docenti provenienti da atenei europei ed extra-europei.
