Marine
Biology
Ebiosea
Project
The
EBIOSEA PROJECT aims to
design an effective marine bioprospecting model which not only takes
into consideration the sustainability of natural resources but strives
to ecologically exploit marine resources. By means of careful planning
and research the EBIOSEA project evaluates the enormous potential of
marine organisms as sources of biomolecules that can in turn be successfully
applied to human and animal health. Through experimental investigation,
the EBIOSEA project has already confirmed the potential of marine biodiversity
in supplying an array of novel natural active ingredients for nutraceutical
development. The biomolecules already found, range in their origin from
teleost & cartilaginous fishes, bivalve & cephalopod molluscs
to macro-algae. These have resulted in an extensive portfolio of new
compounds and we currently hold a total of more than 10 patents with
proven therapeutic properties published in international scientific
journals.
Insofar we have catalogued a total of 500 potential organisms classified
by species, traditional and potential uses, composition analysis and
ecosystem. Each species is careful tested and their suitability as potential
active biomolecules is assessed against a set of specific guidelines.
| The
main objectives of the ebiosea project include:
|
| 1. |
Comprehensive literature research on all related marine
resources potentially exploitable.
|
| 2. |
Search
for biomolecules of marine origin with therapeutic properties.
|
| 3. |
Development
of an extensive database of marine specimens classified
primordially for their potential therapeutic properties.
|
| 4. |
Primary
screening of isolated species found in the database through
scientific experimental protocols which include an array
of assays, isolation and elucidation of the structures of
the active molecules.
|
| 5. |
The
development of marine biomolecules into commercial nutraceuticals
applied to human and animal health.
|
| 6. |
International
academic and institutional collaborations for the ethical
practice of marine bioprospecting.
|
| 7.
|
Marine
ecology consultancy services. |
