Research Group in Instrumental Analysis and Investigation

The main objective of the Research Group in Instrumental Analysis and Investigation is to promote the development and application of advanced analytical methodologies for the characterization of compounds in multiple areas (food, environmental, industrial, pharmaceutical, among others), fostering interdisciplinary and applied research in collaboration with academic, scientific, and productive institutions. Additionally, the group aims to contribute to the training of highly qualified personnel in instrumental analysis and to provide advisory and analytical services to various actors in the socio-productive environment.
