The website of the Universidad de Santiago (USACH) highlighted the participation of researchers from CEDENNA and the director of the CEDENNA Foundation, Dr. Dora Altbir, in a project that seeks to contribute to the agricultural industry through the development of a portable technology for the detection and identification of pesticides in post-harvest.
The initiative, funded by ANID and led by the Agricultural Research Institute (INIA), brings together specialists from different institutions, including USACH, Universidad Central, Universidad Diego Portales and the company DECCO.
Researchers Dr. Sebastián Allende and Dr. Álvaro Espejo, together with the Dr. Dora Altbir, are part of the team that has developed a prototype unique in Chile, with potential for transfer and application in the national fruit sector.
