RESEARCH SUMMARY

Investigation of Sponges associated bacteria as potential sources for Anti-inflammatory chemicals.

Inflammation is a normal cell response ensuing of exposure to chemical irritants. These responses sometimes go haywire, which results in many human ailments such cancer, asthma, autoimmune diseases and others.  This project was proposed based on the fact that marine sponges possess multitudes of symbiotic microorganisms without visible negative impact.  This property might be due to the symbions that producesS anti-inflammatory compounds.
