Bioprospecting can be characterized as targeted and systematic search for and development of new components, bioactive compounds or genes from environmental or natural sources. These biologically-derived compounds can be included as components in products or processes with an extensive range  of application: pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, processing industries, food, cosmetics, etc.  The results of bioprospecting could be a purified molecule that is produced biologically or synthetically, or the entire organism. Shannon ABC, thanks to the multidisciplinary knowledge of employed scientists and modern, well-equipped laboratories can support companies at all 4 phases of bioprospecting.
