Exploring the hidden potential Novel bioactive compounds
PharmaSea The Project PharmaSea | The PharmaSea project focuses on biodiscovery research and the development and commercialisation of new substances from marine organisms. Its primary goal is to collect samples from some of the hottest, deepest and coldest places on the planet. These samples will be screened to uncover new marine microbes and new bioactive compounds to evaluate their potential as new drug leads, antibiotics or ingredients for nutrition or cosmetic applications. PharmaSea is funded by the European Union under its FP7 programme. Consortium | PharmaSea brings together a broad international, interdisciplinary team of academics, industry researchers and specialists focused on marine biodiscovery. The collaborative PharmaSea project will build upon a highly interdisciplinary consortium of 24 partners from 13 countries from industry, academia and non-profit organisations. World-leading experts from Belgium, UK, Norway, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Denmark as well as partners from China, South Africa, Chile, Costa Rica and New Zealand are taking part in the PharmaSea project. Project Leader | PharmaSea’s project leader is Marcel Jaspars from the University of Aberdeen. Research in the Jaspars group focuses on the functions and applications of natural products, particularly those from marine organisms.
