Description
Summary:PHARMADEEP Cruise (29HE20151213) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2015 PharmaDEEP ("New pharmaceuticals from the deep Antarctic"). The specific aims of PharmaDeep are to: (a) Collect marine organisms from deep-and-cold-water habitats that may be unique sources of natural products for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. (b) Perform the first marine biological survey of the unique habitat, the South Shetland Trough. (c) Compare and contrast the SST fauna and drivers of distribution with other trench ecosystems. (d) Investigate the recent geological environment including sea-bed geomorphology and composition as well as glacial and interglacial cycles
