Developments in life science technologies are one of the key drivers of Marine Biotechnology research. Previous advances in molecular biology, genomics and -omics have contributed to Marine Biotechnology developments. Future challenges include the development and optimisation of appropriate bio-engineering tools, the cultivation of microorganisms and the use of marine model organisms as they are expected to have a large impact on future progress in Marine Biotechnology. The target research areas to address key societal challenges are listed below:
- Food: Development of food products and ingredients of marine origin (algae, invertebrates, fish) with optimal nutritional properties for human health
- Energy: Development and demonstration of viable renewable energy products and processes, notably through the use of marine algae
- Health: Development of novel drugs, treatments and health and personal care products
- Industrial Products and Processes: Development of marine-derived molecules exploitable by industry including enzymes, biopolymers and biomaterials
- Environment: Development of biotechnological approaches, mechanisms and applications to address key environmental issues
