Top of our research agenda is the development of applied technology that enables us to unlock the potential of marine resources, while minimizing environmental impacts. For this, we have established a multidisciplinary team of researchers, which includes biologists, agronomists, chemical engineers, chemists, pharmacologists and technologists. We work together in several research strategies, including:

• Stimulating blue growth through the discovery of new products from novel biomass of marine origin, and adding value to existing ones, by multiplying their applications;
• Consolidating and developing new and innovative cross-cutting transdisciplinary technological capacities to expand technologies and pipelines for bio-prospection and bio-exploring of marine compounds and materials;
• Developing remediation strategies for a variety of anthropogenic threats and identifying and developing strategies to mitigate the effects of global climate changes.
