Description of the project/initiative
Domains covered by the project/initiative:
- Animal genetic resources (AnGR)
- Microbial and Invertebrate genetic resources (MIGR)
Number of partners: 7
Scope of the project: National
Initial motivation for starting the project/initiative: The goal of the project is establishing effective technology for production of new biologically active products (hemocyanins) from the hemolymph of arthropdan and molluscan marine organisms living in the Black sea, characterisation of the structure of hemocyanins (using genomics and proteomics approaches) and demonstration of their application in medicine and pharmacy by determination of the mechanism of their action on the tumor, bacterial and virus development.
