About us

The Laboratory of Molecular and Resistant Antibiotic Medical Microbiology (MMAR), of the Department of Biomedical and Biotechnological Sciences (BIOMETEC), of the University of Catania, is one of the institutions in Italy in the field of antibiotic-resistant pathogens surveillance.

The structure is coordinated by Stefania Stefani, Professor of Microbiology and head of the Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology, which has a long experience as a principal researcher of projects financed by National and International funding agencies.

The MMAR includes personnel and infrastructure to perform different biological-molecular techniques; it also provides advice and guidance for researchers in the development of different biological-molecular approaches, in order to focus on specific research questions.

The MMAR laboratories are fully equipped to carry out studies on Microbiology and Molecular Biology.
