Marine Microorganisms: Cultivation Methods for Improving their Biotechnological Applications (MACUMBA)
Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
Marine microorganisms form an almost untapped resource of biotechnological potential. However, its use is hindered by the low success rate of isolation of novel microorganisms and often by poor growth efficiency. Hence, the vast majority of marine microorganisms has not been cultivated and is often considered as ‘unculturable’. MaCuMBA aims at improving the isolation rate and growth efficiency of ...

BlueGenics – From gene to bioactive product: Exploiting marine genomics for an innovative and sustainable European blue biotechnology industry (BlueGenics)
Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
Marine organisms, in particular sponges and their associated microorganisms, are an inexhaustible source of novel bioactive (lead) compounds for biomedical application. Industrial exploitation of this natural resource using traditional approaches is, however, hampered, with a few exceptions, by unsolvable supply problems - despite of numerous efforts in the past. Therefore, there is, very likely, ...

Selected peptides as drug candidates directed to pain and neurodegeneration (PEP2BRAIN)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
"BLV200703/4 is a small molecule discovered jointly by groups from the University of Lisbon (Portugal) and Girona (Spain) that proved its efficacy in analgesia from behavioural tests in rats. The same molecule was tested in a platform that screens potential pharmacological molecules/compounds for neurodegenerative diseases with positive results. The platform is owned by Bioalvo, SA (Portugal). The ...
