Our 2008 Collection Trip to the Bahamas
|
|
|
|
In August, we visited the Gerace Research Centre located on San Salvador in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. This was a highly successful trip with samples collected from a variety of habitats including reefs, caves and marine lakes. Samples are now being processed for our drug discovery program and microbiological studies.
