Sea4Us was represented by its co-founder, CEO and CSO, Pedro Lima, who presented a panel on “Sponges of Sagres and Biotechnology” at 2:30 p.m. at the “III Panel – Biodiversity”, linking the Vila do Bispo to the treatment of chronic pain. Particular emphasis was given to the project on a substance from a marine sponge collected in the waters of Sagres that has the potential to become an alternative to morphine in the treatment of chronic pain, a devastating syndrome that affects 21% of the human population.
