This project investigates the natural product potential of mesophotic sponges in the ocean, focusing on their unique chemical compounds that could lead to new medicinal discoveries. By analyzing their genetic material, the research aims to uncover novel bioactive molecules for drug development.
Molecules made by nature, or natural products, inspire the majority of currently approved small molecules for use in medicine.
With an increase in widespread antibiotic resistance and the perpetual search for anticancer drugs, new sources of natural products must be discovered.
The marine environment is a proven, prolific source of novel bioactive molecules and much of the ocean remains chemically and genetically unexplored.
The mesophotic zone is particularly neglected because of the technologi…
