| Abstract: |
The Biomedical research institute (BIOMED) is a multidisciplinary institute that uses high-end technology to deliver novel insights in three main disease areas:
- immunology;
- neuroscience;
- cardiovascular disease.
The group aims to translate scientific discoveries into applications that contribute to a healthier society. The marine research focuses on the potential use of seaweed-derived compounds for combating Alzheimer's disease, and preventing neurodegenerative and cardiometabolic diseases. Further, the group examines the effects of brown seaweed food supplementation on allergies, inflammation and health, and explores the neuroprotective and therapeutic properties of edible seaweed constituents. |
