Training Network For Exploring Microalgae Diversity For The Development Of Novel Antiviral Compounds
Lectins And Polyphenols From Algae Could Help Us Fight Virusesmicroalgae Are Tiny Factories Whose Complex Metabolic Pathways Churn Out Many Bioactive Compounds Of Interest To The Medical And Pharmaceutical Industries. Among These Are Lectins And Polyphenols, Known For Various Health And Protective Activities, Including Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antioxidant And Anti-Inflammatory Properties. More Recently, Many Lectins And Polyphenols Have Been Found To Have Antiviral Activity. With The Support Of The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Programme, The Algaenet4Av Project Will Create A Training Network To Explore And Exploit Microalgal Lectins And Polyphenols With Antiviral Properties Against Influenza And Coronavirus Pandemic Strains. The Project Will Include Omics-Based Discovery, Characterisation, Development Of Culture Systems, Market Assessment, Biorefinery Designs And Techno-Economic And Sustainability Assessment.
