[obsah] => Deepening of cooperation in bioactive compounds research (BIOCOM)
The proposed project aims at deepening of cooperation in common research activities between two universities in Czech Republic and Norway, University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague (UCT Pragure) and UiT The Arctic University of Norway (UiT), respectively. Strengthening and improvement of activities in the field of biologically active compounds research is planned. The partners will benefit from sharing and transfer of complementary scientific competences. UiT team is highly recognized for its credit in the field of bioprospecting, i.e. discovery and commercialization of ´new´ products based on biological resources, specifically marine. For this purpose, advanced biotechnologies, including isolation and purification of bioactive compounds are being developed by UiT jointly with industrial partners. On the other hand, UCT Prague is known for the excellence in the field of advanced, comprehensive analysis of natural matrices, what is the field which UiT is going to develop to reduce the need of outsourcing analytical services. The experience in employing cutting edge instrumental platforms for both bioactive compounds identification and quality / safety / stability parameters control will be the UCT´s project input. Another area for close collaboration and generic knowledge transfer is bioactivity testing. UiT employs an array of biochemical and cellular tests that might be implemented at UTC that has recently bought a robotic platform for this purpose. Both young scientists (PhD students), and experienced academics and senior research staff will increase their research profiles and enhance the skills in interdisciplinary communication through series of short-term trainings / study stays, expert’s visits and participations in events organised by project partners. The cooperation will also enable establishing the new collaborative research teams which will follow the present research, and will also support future extension of the collaboration to include research projects focusing on exploitation of natural resources in general.
The project "Deepening of cooperation in bioactive compounds research" (BIOCOM) benefits from a 791 000 CZK grant from Norway Grants. The aim of the project is to stimulate long-term cooperation, networking, knowledge sharing and transfer, capacity and competence building in the research field focused on biologically active compounds.

BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS FROM MARINE SOURCES
Klara Stensvag, The UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Tromso, Norway
Marine fish is an important source for food in the world, but there is also unused marine resources that we know less about in terms of the biomass and basic knowledge of bioactive molecules that might be usable for different purposes. Many of the drugs approved today is based on knowledge from natural products (over 60%) from terrestrial sources. During the last decades, however, there has been a growing interest for bioprospecting of marine resources for their unique bioactive properties in addition for being usable as food or food products. Marine organisms like animals and bacteria together with other biological material of marine origin, are a source of huge potential for exploring novel bioactive components with activities that can be exploited. In this context, marine proteins and peptides are very interesting. The wide repertoire of biological functions that such natural peptides have, make them exciting for bioprospecting and drug discovery. Among them, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are interesting since the increased spreading of bacterial resistance in humans and other pathogenic bacteria worldwide against commercial available antibiotics, have stimulated the search for novel antimicrobials. We have characterized several new classes of marine AMPs and explored their mode of action. The organisms that produce these bioactives have been collected from the Arctic or/and sub-Arctic region and can be very diverse covering biological resources from microalgae to invertebrates. Different approaches and examples in bioprospecting will be looked into. This will include characterizations of mechanisms of action, SAR studies and designed new marine mimicking molecules that might be candidates for novel lead compounds.
Keywords: marine organisms, bioactive components, marine proteins and peptides, bioprospecting

Short summary of the training
The travel to Tromso realized within the project “Deepening of cooperation in bioactive compounds research” was undertaken between April 23rd and April 26th 2017.
On Monday (April 24th) prof. Jana Hajslova, Ph.D. and assoc. prof. Milena Stranska, Ph.D. (University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague) had a meeting with Marek Cuhra, Ph.D. (Institute of Marine Research, Tromso). Possibilities of future collaboration focused mainly on bioprospecting of marine organisms, and utilization of antimicrobial compounds in medical applications were discussed.
The next day (April 25th), prof. Jana Hajslova, Ph.D. and assoc. prof. Milena Stranska, Ph.D. were invited to UiT The Arctic University of Norway, where a common brainstorming seminar focused predominantly on identification of common scientific topics (manly within HORIZON 2020) was organized. The main Norwegian scientists participating on the seminar were prof. Klara Stenswag and prof. Ragnar Olsen (the complete list of participants is available). Additionally to this, also collaboration of both Universities at the educational level (e.g. within ERASMUS program), and creation of common Ph.D. study program, were outlined. The communications will go on continuously, between the respective responsible persons or university departments.

Description of the workshop
The workshop on a topic related to biologically active compounds in natural resources will be organised by UCT Prague in March 2017. The workshop will be “cross-connecting in science”, with the aim to create new research groups and establish the new topics for the follow up research. This will significantly contribute to the sustainability of Norwegian and Czech partner cooperation after the finishing of the project. The workshop will be attended by project participants (research staff, postdocs and PhD students) and also by external stakeholders who can be interested in the project actions and outputs. These organisations will be invited to extend collaboration of project partners with bodies also outside the project leading to strengthening links and networking that might be beneficial for cooperation in future projects. Program of the workshop will be planned with respect to invited audience and focus both on scientific aspects, and also presentation of opportunities for funding of research in the field of BIOCOM activities.

The course “ BIO-8604 Marine bioprospecting and bioactive compounds for health ”, administered by Faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries and Economics at UiT The Arctic University of Norway was a PhD student course held for 2 weeks and it was a mixture of preconference lectures (some online), a preconference workshop, practical sessions, and seminars with discussions. Part of this course was going on at the same time as the conference Bioprosp_2017. The conference and one preconference workshop were included in the course. The topics covered during the course:
- Marine bioresources available for drug discovery and bioprospecting
- The Marine Biodiscovery Pipeline
- Overview of different methods used in drug discovery, spending from bioassay guided purifications, genetic approaches and virtual approaches
- Different techniques and approaches; how to purify components, solve structures and measure activity for instance in high throughput screening, peptidomics
- Challenges and case studies of lead development
- Legal aspects
- Topics given at the conference and pre-conference workshop
- Practical sessions with demonstrations
During the course I gained valuable and interesting insight into the bioprospecting pipeline from collection of the marine resources, preparation of sample extracts and extracts fractionation, screening of the fractions, isolation and identification of bioactive natural products, to biosynthesis of novel bioactive molecules. This knowledge will be implemented by our research group in our department for bioprospecting of terrestrial and fresh water algae and other material. Moreover, participation in this course will enhance prospects for my professional development in bioprospecting area. In addition, meeting with experts in the field and other people interested in bioprospecting provided an opportunity for networking.
Within this course I prepared a presentation on the topic related to the course “Fucoxanthin-producing algae in a bioprospecting context”. It was considered as the final exam of the course which I successfully passed (see the certificate).
I would like to thank everybody who participated in organising this course and the Bioprosp_2017 conference, mainly prof. Klara Stensvåg who ensured that my stay was full of scientific and personal experiences.
