Marine Biomedical Research, Its Not the Most Boring Thing in the World By: Ian |
| The field of biomedical research is
rapidly growing and expanding because of its importance to medicine in general. Research in enzyme and immune systems in marine animals are producing results that will help stop and prevent cancer. Also enzymes that will help suppress the immune system have been found. For example trout has become very important in cancer and other research due to its low cost and near immunity to cancer. Coral has also provided some medical advancements, eleutherobin for example has aided in the treatment of some cancer. Anti inflammatory agents have also been discovered in marine life. Marine biomedical researchers that are doctors make about 52 thousand a year. Those with Bachelors degrees will make about 27 thousand a year. |

One reason for this research is that
there are marine animals that have the diseases and ailments that we have, such as coronary artery disease and kidney stones. The discoveries that are made can help other industries as well. Research on oysters and algae has uncovered a substance that may help with bone loss as well as make more lightweight materials. These advancement help everyone in one way or another, proving that marine biomedical research is very important to us all. Many aquariums, biomedical companies and Universities do marine biomedical research. |
