2 – The post-doctorate scholarship derives from the Measure 1.1.2/FRCT – Reinforcement of research teams for accredited R&D Units (Medida 1.1.2/FRCT – Reforço das equipas de investigação das Unidades de I&D acreditadas), funded by the Science and Technology Regional Fund in the frame of the Science and Technology Integrated Plan (Plano Integrado para a Ciência e Tecnologia).

PROJECT

3 – The scholarship aims the development of the project “Genetic Diversity and Biotechnological applications of the order Gigartinales (Rhodymeniophycidae, Rhodophyta)”.

4 – The main objective of this project is the valorization of an order of marine algae very common in Azores, with a high interest in marine ecosystems, phylogenetic interest, and biotechnological interest, due to the production of biomolecules with pharmacological potential, namely anti-tumor activities. The research program will include:

a) studies on the genetic diversity of one order of Azorean marine algae using DNA markers;
b) the identification and characterization of biomolecules with pharmacological potential specially anti-tumorogenic, using proteomic and genomic approaches and biological and enzymatic assays.

5 – The work will be developed at the CIRN (http://www.cirn.uac.pt/) , in the University of Azores, based in São Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal under the coordination of Prof. Doctor Ana Neto (aneto@notes.uac.pt) and Professor Doutor Nelson Simões (simoes@notes.uac.pt).
