Biotech is a centre aiming at fostering and coordinating research and training activities carried out in the University of Trento, in the field of biomedical sciences and technologies, in cooperation with external motivated public and private partners, research institutions, companies and health service facilities.

BIOtech was founded in 2007  upon the proposal of the Departments of:

• Mechanical and Structural Engineering
• Physics
• Mathematics
• Materials Engineering and Industrial Technologies
• Computer Science and Telecommunications
