The entire VicInAqua team sends its warmest congratulations to Dr. Mancuso of partner University of Calabria (Italy) for receiving an award from the Italian Chemical Society for her relevant studies on multicomponent catalytic reactions and in unconventional solvents and for the synthesis of new polymerizable surfactants for membranes preparation. These achievements pave the way towards the development of antimicrobial coatings for the self-cleaning membrane bio-reactor (MBR) system used in VicInAqua.
