Project aim

Snow algae, in adapting to a harsh environment of freezing temperatures and high solar and UV-irradiation, may produce biologically active compounds. This project examines Antarctic snow algal extracts for compounds such as sunscreens and antioxidants for the development of pharmaceuticals and other natural products.
