Mariaelena led a publication just published in Marine Drugs. The work is an important milestone in our quest for novel phtosensitisers from marine invertebrates, Polychaeta in the case.

New paper just accepted!

Cátia Gonçalves, our newest Ph.D. student, leads a new publication on the histochemistry of thiols in gladular tissue of Polychaeta, just accepted for publication in Histochemistry and Cell biology. More information will be added soon.
