BioNord – Biotechnologiestandort Bremenhaven Bremen

Its closeness to the sea means that Bremerhaven was predestined to become a hub for blue biotechnology, the science of substances from the ocean. Innovative substances with a health-promoting effect are used in foodstuffs, medicine and cosmetics; new marine pigments offer a whole vista of possibilities. In Bremen, the spotlight is on red biotechnology: medicine and medical technology. The processing of proteins, research into nanobiological systems and bioinformatics provide important building blocks for new diagnostic methods in cancer treatment and medication additives. Here too, the closeness to industry ensures a direct link to applications.
