Technology platforms
The Torre Fiorentina area, where the TLS Science Park is located, has been hosting research and industrial activities in the field of vaccines for more than one hundred years. In this location, facilities and skills in microbiology, immunology, molecular biology and cell biology have been growing and consolidating. Recently, further competences have been established in bioinformatics, computational chemistry, small drug design and discovery thanks to the expansion of the research activities of Chiron Vaccines, now Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, the establishment of Sienabiotech and the presence of the Molecular Biology Department of the Siena University. The high concentration of multi-disciplinary knowledge, the investments made in the area and the recent realization of the bio-incubator have led to the establishment of state-of-the art technology platforms accessible to any group wishing to locate within the site.
