Short description of research profile
The recent research projects of the team have been focused on pharmaceutical application of marine natural products. The group explores the metabolic diversity of cyanobacteria in search for compounds, mainly oligopeptides, of anticancer and antiviral activities. In a wide collaboration with other partners, the possible mechanism of cyanopeptides action, the alternativie methods of production as well as the behaviour under physiological conditions are studied.
