APA Seminar
INOVACEL project presented at the 17th APA Seminar (Aquacultores.pt)
The INOVACEL project was present at the XVII Seminar of APA – Aquacultores de Portugal (Portuguese Aquaculturists Association), held in Olhão on May 16, 2025, through the presentation of a scientific poster entitled: “Sustainability and innovation in cellular Aquaculture: a circular approach with microalgae.”
Researcher Joana Rosa (S2AQUAcoLAB) highlighted the potential of microalgae as a key resource in the formulation of more sustainable cell culture media, replacing animal serum with plant and marine alternatives. Laboratory methodologies and strategies for the valorization of effluents were also discussed, within a circular economy approach.
The seminar was a valuable opportunity to disseminate the project’s progress to professionals in the aquaculture sector, researchers, and policy makers, reinforcing INOVACEL’s role in building a new generation of biotechnologies applied to the sea.

Annual General Meeting of the INOVACEL project
The meeting provided an opportunity to review progress across the project, including ongoing work on marine cell line development, microalgae-based alternatives for animal components in cell culture media, and the reuse and valorisation of the spent culture media within a circular economy approach. Key results achieved so far were discussed, fostering technical alignment and shared reflection among partners.
