The potential of marine biotechnology remains largely unexplored and untapped.

The Series on Marine Biosciences in 2005 intends to regroup scientists and research managers interested in bioprospecting marine ecosystems and developing pharmaceutical and nutraceutical uses for extracts and by products.

Who should attend

• Academic researchers and leading professors working on various aspects of extraction, characterisation and valorisation of natural products from marine organisms.
• Graduate students and post-doctoral fellows presenting their fresh findings in marine biotechnology and interested to take contact with other academics and industrial scientists and managers.
• Research scientists and research managers from biotech and pharma companies and gouvermental agencies interested in the future of marine drug market and natural health products.
