PharmaMar partnering with local research institutions in the host countries

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL

Today, PharmaMar researchers organize six or seven expeditions a year at sites around the world, partnering with local research institutions in the host countries. Divers return to the surface with thousands of small samples of representative local marine life, though they’re careful to avoid all endangered species; they have a strong company commitment to preserving the ocean environment. The result of these efforts is a library of frozen marine life under the building. With more than 42,000 samples, it is the largest such private library in the world.

Chunks of samples wait in smaller freezers in the labs at PharmaMar, filling the air with the tang of the sea. A scientist pulls out one dark-brown frozen lump and scans it into the computer: it’s a sponge, and the photograph that appears on screen displays a significantly more attractive sight, with pale waving fronds fanning out. All samples are classified not only by species but also by the exact GPS location of the discovery site, with a visual description of the location and photographs of the species. This can assist divers should they need to return to the site to collect further samples.
