Old Hands Making New Discoveries
Strameno Limited have recently located their laboratory and office to the Moredun Research Institute (MRI) within the Pentlands Science Park just outside Edinburgh, Scotland.
Research within the MRI’s Aquaculture Division – and planned within Moredun Scientific – complements Strameno’s work on potential feed additives for fish, other animals and people derived from the thraustochytrids. These are protists but are most commonly known as oil-producing micro-algae.
‘Our new facilities will enable us to continue the development of our high yielding protist strains and to expand into different types of related investigations, as well as retaining our strong collaboration with other institutions around the world ’ says Jane Polglase Scientific Director at Strameno Limited.
Information
Strameno Ltd was formed in 2018 to commercialise marine protists (patents applied for) in their collection.
