Note
The Division of Biomedical Marine Research (DBMR) at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Inc. has been involved in the search for potential new medicines from marine orgasnisms for nearly 20 years. Deep-water marine invertebrates and the microorganisms associated with them have been the focus of this group resulting in the discovery of a number of novel compounds with therapeutic potential. Discoveries have been made in-house as well as in collaboration with academic groups, biotechnology companies and the pharmaceutical industry.
