Marine Substances: innovative solutions for ageing related pathologies
ABSTRACT
Sea4Us is a Biotech company working on Discovery and Development of marine
molecules for the therapy of unmet clinical needs. Marine organisms are a special
source/inspiration for truly differencing chemistry, that Sea4Us explores it further with
a constantly growing library of compounds. Few of such compounds are being
developed into pharmaceutical drugs with relevance to several types of Chronic Pain
and diseases of the immunological system. Many others have potential for other
pathologies and biomedical applications and are available for promotional
study/development. The marine biodiversity of the Algarve should be then explored
for biomedical purposes by expanding a cooperative net of R&D, focusing on diseases
that affect the aging population.
