MarBiotech Research Group
MarBiotech is a research group led by João Varela and Luísa Barreira. The focus of the group is the study of microalgae to use them as novel sources of (functional) food and feed, biostimulants, drug leads, while fixating CO2 into biomass and treating effluents from the agroindustry and other sources. The final goal is to use microalgae as drivers for a more sustainable and circular bioeconomy.
