New Member of the INOVACEL Research Team
Eva Dias holds a master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences.
From microalgae to new cell culture formulations 🌿
Within the INOVACEL project, GreenCoLab has been working on the development of microalgae derived ingredients to support the creation of new formulations of Cell Bloom, our serum alternative for cell culture.
Bringing science closer to younger generations!
As part of the INOVACEL project, S2AQUA participated in a science outreach activity at the Centro Ciência Viva of Lago, which is part of the Escola Ciência Viva of Lagos.
Cell Culture Medium: From Effluent to Value
At Necton, we are always looking for more sustainable ways to produce microalgae and transform byproducts into resources with real impact.
Circularity in cellular agriculture
At GreenCoLab, we turn a challenge into an opportunity.
The effluent from fish cell culture, which is still rich in nutrients, can be given a new lease of life instead of being discarded; it is being used to cultivate microalgae.
CellBloom: A Sustainable Alternative to Fetal Bovine Serum
News Developing alternatives to Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a key step for cellular aquaculture FBS is widely used in cell culture as a source of essential growth factors that support cell proliferation and maintenance. However, its animal origin and batch variability represent significant challenges for the development of more sustainable, ethical, and scalable production […]
How are fish cells developed for cell-based aquaculture?
News The process begins with the establishment of new cell lines from tissue explants. From these small tissue fragments, cells proliferate and form stable cultures in the laboratory.The next step is to understand the differentiation potential of these cells.Através da coloração Oil Red O, é possível observar a diferenciação em adipócitos, as células responsáveis pela […]
Master’s Thesis Defence
Eva Dias successfully defended her Master’s thesis in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Algarve.
The thesis was entitled ‘Characterisation of the VSa13 cell line in the context of cellular aquaculture’.
Microalgae at the center of the INOVACEL project
These microorganisms are being used to develop a sustainable alternative to animal serum, enabling more ethical and environmentally responsible cell culture systems, while improving technical viability, cost-effectiveness, scalability, and performance.
Dissemination of the INOVACEL Project in Naples
News During the kick-off of the SEANERGIES project on cellular aquaculture, we had the opportunity to present INOVACEL to high school students. In a session integrated into the public initiative “SEANERGIES and the Society: for Food & Future”, titled “Quando la scienza diventa cibo”, held at the Fondazione Dohrn – DaDoM Museum. The presentation was […]
