Source: University of Waikato World-leading Tauranga marine scientist, Professor Chris Battershill, will be speaking about the importance of ocean biodiversity and the sustainable management of this important natural resource in a Tauranga Public Lecture Series on April 12. The free event, held at the University of Waikato Tauranga campus, will reveal how derivatives from sea sponges can fight a variety of cancers and how red seaweed has been used to create drugs for HIV/Aids and potential for treatment of the Covid-19 virus. The hour-long talk, Drugs from the Sea: Biomedicines, Biodiversity and Biopirates, is billed as a must-attend for those interested in this ground-breaking area of medical and marine science, and for anyone interested in the sustainable management of our ocean resources.
