Synopsis:The current research niche of MARSLAB is onAquatic Diagnostic and HealthManagement.Within thisframework, MARSLAB researchers focus on marinebioactive resourceswithpotentialuses foraquaticanimaland human health, therapeutics and prophylactics, andplatform research technologies in marine biotechnol-ogy and aquaculture. Bioprospecting and utilization ofaquatic biomedicinal resources for biotherapeutics andprophylactics development as well as health sustenancewill be emphasized.Thus, to ensure sustainable supply ofmarineresourcesandenhancedproductivityoftheaquaticanimalsandplants,theresearchalsoaddressesthecontrolandmaintenanceof ecosystemhealth.

INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVES
ThemainobjectiveoftheLaboratory of Marine Biotechnology (MARSLAB) is to strengthen theresearch programs in marine and aquaculturebiotechnology through enhancement of expertise,improvement of research facilities and innovation ofnovel marine-based products. The research focus ofMARSLAB includes discovery of natural marinebiomoleculesanddevelopmentofmarine-basedvalue-addedproductswithcommercialpotentialforfood,nutraceutical,pharmaceuticalandaquacultureindustries.ThisnicheareaisinparallelwiththeobjectivesoftheHICoE(HigherInstitutionCentreofExcellence)programwhichaddressesthefishhealthissuesusingvaccineandimmunotherapeutictechnologies. In addition to research, MARSLAB plays anactiveroleinprovidingspecialisedtrainingtostaff,studentsandpubliconvarioustopicsrelatedtomarinescienceandaquaculture. In these training sessions, we share ourfundamentaldiscoveries,developmentofnewtechnologiesfor commercial applications, and innovative solutions topractical problems related to various marine-basedindustries. We hope this effort will contribute towardsenhancement of human capital and development ofappropriate workforce necessary for the economicgrowth of the country. The training also emphasizes theimportance of conservation and sustainable use ofrich and diverse aquatic resources of the country. Tostrengthenourresearchandtraining,wedevelopedintensivecollaboration research and networking with many worldfamousresearchinstitutionssuchasAtmosphereandOceanResearchInstitute(AORI),SmithsonianTropicalResearchInstitute(STRI),RussianAcademyofScience,UniversityofStirling,WageningenUniversity,UniversityofMoscow,SokaUniversity andGhentUniversity.To drive all theseeffortsinresearchandacademicexcellence,researchgrantsareobtainedfromvariouslocalandinternationalagencies.
