Research at DBVPG is connected with the activities of the hosting Institution (Department of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Science – DSA3, University of Perugia). The team of the Microbiology Research Unit  has been working for many years in the area of investigation of taxonomy, biodiversity and biotechnology of yeasts.

Research at DBVPG has demonstrated the considerable value connected with the yeast biodiversity conserved into the Collection. Such biodiversity can be of significant value to a variety of industries (including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, cosmetics, etc.). The yeast biodiversity preserved in the DBVPG Collection and the know-how and skills of DBVPG researchers in understanding and working with the Collection, is available for collaborative research project with any other possible partnership (Academic or Industrial).
