About us

SERge-GEnomics is a spin-off company founded in 2006 whose mission is to offer support to technology transfer actions and development of innovative analytical methodologies for the University of Siena. The experience of SERge-GEnomics is mainly gained in the agri-food sector to protect the genuineness characteristics of food and drinks and the biodiversity of species of agricultural interest. In particular, the company has been involved in projects for the development of molecular methods for the varietal characterization of wines, thanks to projects financed by the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and by the Tuscany Region (Winefinger project). Our solution is called: Wine DNA Fingerprinting (WDF™) , a molecular method that characterizes the varieties in wines by DNA analysis.
