Marine Pharmacology: Why We Need to Save Our Oceans to Save Ourselves
In this episode of PPP, we discuss the use of marine natural compounds in drug discovery. The oceans hold an incredible range of species diversity, and within them lies even more unique chemical compounds. The key to many medical mysteries can be found in this collection, providing the source of many new therapeutic drugs. However, despite the unparalleled potential of ocean life in medicine, human intervention threatens marine diversity greatly. Discover the disastrous consequences to marine life and human health from such threats in the inaugural episode of PPP.
