The goal of the Division of Biomedical Marine Research (DBMR) at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI) is to isolate and identify bioactive compounds from marine organisms. Since 1984 over 16,000 macroorganisms have been collected worldwide by HBOI personnel using scuba, JOHNSON-SEA-LINK submersibles and ROVs to depths of 915m. Biological assays of samples collected determine potential leads for antitumor, antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial and immunomodulatory agents. Active compounds are then isolated and structurally identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopies. Presently over 200 chemical structures of biologically active compounds have been determined by DBMR scientists and affiliates resulting in 14 issued and allowed patents and 44 publications.
