Extracts are available for screening for specific bioactivities. Once compounds of interest are identified, we can perform complete purification, structure elucidation, and biochemical characterisation. Our focus is broad-based and cooperative and we welcome international collaboration. Enzymes of interest can be fully characterised at the molecular and biochemical levels. Marine microbes also have the potential to be used in bioremediation of toxic pollutants, including heavy metals.
Expertise is also available in-house for chemical synthesis of bioactive compounds.
O ur group has expertise in the preparation and registration of provisional patents, national-phase and international patent applications, and has experience in the examination process leading to Deed of Patents.
