Summary

To determine the degree of activity (or range of activity) on human cells through bioassays including genomic-based assays. Investigate the potential commercial development of therapeutic products derived from Bactronophorous thoracites based on traditional/cultural use and current market perceptions on developing a complementary medicines product Establish handling and processing procedures including cultural context to derive and identify the classes of active components Gather sufficient data to make Go/No Go decisions for commercial development and to guide the direction of possible subsequent developments

Objective Summary

• To determine the degree of activity (or range of activity) of extracts of Bactronophorous thoracites on human cells through bioassays including genomic-based assays.
• To investigate the potential commercial development of therapeutic products derived from Bactronophorous thoracites based on traditional/cultural use and current market perceptions on developing a complementary medicines product. To establish handling and processing procedures including cultural context to derive and identify the classes of active components
• To gather sufficient data to make Go/No Go decisions for commercial development and to guide the direction of possible subsequent commercialisation.
