Dear all

,
The anti-cancer therapeutic programs that I am running now have nothing to do with marine pharmacology. The marine pharmacology project that I want to get into is something that always I was thinking about, and I think now is the right time because the other project that I have running OK. I Mediterranean we have many sponges that I want to test if we can get something out of them. I am looking for toxins and small peptides. In the lab we can do all the work including isolation, purification, the in vitro test in mane cancer cell lines, and the in vivo studies in cancer animal models. Because at this point I don’t know from what sponge to start in collaboration with Cyprus Fishery Department we are thinking to collect small samples from different marine sponge species do a small scale study and if we have something promising we have money from a European Union grand to start a aquaculture for that sponge. We are thinking to start with Axinella polypoides, Axinella verrucosa, Aplysina aerophora, Aplysina caverniophora at this point. I thing, if everything goes OK, in about six months (end of Summer) to start some in vitro studies. I am open for collaboration, advises, change ideas and suggestions.
Thank you very much
