In the biotechnology sector specifically, health applications are especially promising. Traditionally, many applications focused on cosmetics. But more and more applications are emerging in the area of nutrition and a lot more pharmaceutical research is being carried out.
That's why I mentioned the challenges associated with clinical trials earlier. Researchers are seeing very positive results at the in vitro or animal stage, but the challenge they ultimately have to overcome is gathering the clinical evidence. And that is where we need to be more effective and efficient in terms of the number of clinical trials that can be done on certain marine-based products.
Keep in mind that new products very rarely emerge from pharmaceutical R and D owing to all the regulatory barriers. And marine-based products probably represent the family of molecules most likely to produce positive clinical results.
