Name:
Microalgae cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals (AlgaeCeuticals)

Developed by:
Agricultural University of Athens, CERTH (Greece), BIONOS (Spain)

Country(ies) involved:
Croatia, Greece, Italy, Spain

Funding sources:
EU

General idea:
Microalgae biomass is used as a rich source of compounds for the development of natural UV Suncsreens and Proteins as cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals

Description:
The AlgaeCeuticals project takes advantage of the native algae strains producing high added value products and through the application of novel omics technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, enzymomics and metabolomics) as well as algae culture technologies and production of novel products. AlgaeCeuticals screens and characterizes algae biodiversity, develops and optimizes algae culture systems, develops omics resources for algae and also develops downstream processing strategies and also develop novel products.Academic partners work closely with the industrial R&D and form a complementary and highly competitive team so that to promote transfer of knowledge and excellence to industrial partners.

TRL:
