Research

The passion for science and innovation led our team to carry out research projects in collaboration with the University of Parma, the Cardiocentro Ticino Institute and the Institute for Chemistry and Biotechnology (ZHAW School of Life Sciences). In fact, Sferalp and Micro-Sphere participated in projects in the field of characterization of lactose for inhalation and in the field of synthesis of spongy micro-carriers for cell cultures.

Current research projects

“Production of lactose for inalation by elettro-spray drying” in collaboration with Fluid Air and Micro-Sphere.
