Immagine The Department of Biotechnology and Life Sciences relies, for its teaching activities, on university spaces and services. For activities, including teaching, related to scientific research, it has, in addition to common laboratories, experimental facilities and laboratories tailored to the specific needs of the various Research Groups (RG).Each RG uses its facilities to develop research projects and activities related to the discipline(s) that define it, including projects by thesis students and PhD candidates. To ensure effective and economical use of the facilities, while respecting individual expertise, the department's laboratory resources are available cross-functionally to the various RGs, as are the university’s major equipment. Teaching Facilities The Department can use the classrooms located in the various University buildings, according to University regulations. The main sites used are the Morselli Pavilion in Varese and Molini Marzoli in Busto Arsizio. Our Teaching Classrooms The Library Department staff and students can make use of the services offered by the Library of Medicine and Science, located at Via Dunant, 3. The library holds approximately 13,000 monographs in the following disciplines: Biology, Medicine, Environmental Sciences, Computer Science, Communication Sciences, Dentistry. Ninety print or online journals are available by subscription. Consultation is open. The library provides access to the electronic resources of the University Library System and organises annual training seminars for doctoral students. Library of Medicine and Science – Varese Teaching laboratories Some courses within the four degree programmes in the biological and biotechnological area include practical sessions, which are carried out in the following teaching laboratories: Experimental Biology Laboratory “Pilone” – Varese Experimental Biology Laboratory – Busto Arsizio Chemistry Laboratory – Varese Microscopy Laboratory – Varese IT and Language Laboratories The Department primarily uses the computer laboratories located in the various buildings in Varese and Busto Arsizio (VA).
