The ARRM1 campus is home to numerous experts with diverse but converging chemistry expertise and can offer innovative and sustainable solutions for a wide range of applications. The multidisciplinary perspective of the chemical expertise within the campus produces research with high-impact applications, aimed at improving human and environmental health, which is clearly one inseparable system.

The activities pursued aim at the development and characterization of new nanostructured, organic, inorganic, and hybrid materials, including biomimetic materials for applications in drug-delivery and in the fabrication of high-performance sensors and biosensors. Such systems are designed to precisely address the increasingly complex challenges in biomedicine, environmental research, agribusiness and animal husbandry.

New pharmacologically active molecules, are being developed and studied. The expertise present at the ARRM1 campus also enables a detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying major physiological and pathological processes, with the goal of developing targeted and personalized therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.

The chemistry developed within the ARRM1 campus also makes a key contribution in the environmental research. Sustainable strategies for biomimetic capture of CO₂ are designed.Green technologies are developed for the extraction, valorization and conversion into added-value materials of agribusiness chain wastes and industrial wastes. These technologies are also applied to materials, natural or synthetic, that are highly polluting. Finally, new analytical techniques of environmental interest are developed for the remediation of water, soil and air.

The unique qualities of the ARRM1 campus offer multiple opportunities to put chemistry at the service of cultural heritage. New methods are developed for the analysis of artifacts of artistic, historical and architectural interest. In addition, low-toxicity coatings, biomaterials, and nanomaterials are being actively researched and developed for the protection and preservation of cultural property
