Chemical library and marine bioprospecting
Scientific day proposed by the Functional Exploration axis of Biogenouest
This event will bring together several experts from this multidisciplinary field integrating the collection of marine organisms, the chemistry of natural products, the characterization of the biological activity of extracts or pure molecules and their possible industrial valorization.
Several infrastructures and institutes represented: ChemBioFrance, EMBRC France, the Roscoff Biological Station, the Concarneau Marine Station, the Institute of Organic and Analytical Chemistry of Orléans, the Institute of Chemistry of Nice, the Biodimar core facility of Brest, the Littoral Environment and Societies laboratory of La Rochelle, the laboratory of marine environmental sciences of Brest, the laboratory of Marine Biotechnology and Chemistry of Vannes.
The day is open to all, free of charge, but registration is required before March 21, 2025 👉 Registration Form.
