The guest lecture
Whether for nutrition, cosmetics or medical applications - nature offers a huge amount of substances that can also be used by us humans. The largest, still largely unexplored, reservoir of natural active ingredients is the sea. Therefore, it is an exciting field of work for all scientists who deal with biotechnology. The University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland and the University of Flensburg Applied Sciences offer a virtual winter school on marine biotechnology on the topic. In one week they will show the long way from a marine habitat to a biotechnological active ingredient: The methods starting with the sampling of microorganisms from the sea up to the detection of biological activities are discussed. Bacteria that produce antibiotic substances serve as an example. The way to a biotechnological product, for example for pharmaceuticals or cosmetics, will also be examined theoretically. Guest lectures enrich the program - Stephen Wrigley shows the way of the company HyphaDiscovery for the further development of microbial substances. The winter school is supported by ZAiT at FUAS.
