Marine Bioprospecting
Use a bioprospecting approach on Arctic and Sub-Arctic marine resources to tackle medical societal challenges, in particular antimicrobial resistance
THE MAIN FOCUS
- Obtain basic knowledge of novel bioactive metabolites/products derived from marine invertebrates, algae and microorganisms like bacteriophages, giant viruses and bacteria.
-
Drug lead discovery and development of antimicrobials from marine resources
-
Determine the bioactivity profile and mode of action of antimicrobial compounds
-
Develop new methods within bioprospecting and biotechnology
-
Use of biotechnology in marine research and industry
-
Use and develop the Arctic Bioanalytical Platform
-
Give good supervision and teaching within research
