Marine macroalgae (seaweeds) are a resource of great economic and environmental importance due to their numerous applications and key ecological functions. The scientific staff of the group has extensive expertise in studying both basic and applied of seaweeds, with a particular focus on kelps, through cultivation and experimentation. The overall objective is the research, development, and knowledge transfer in the cultivation, sustainable use, and conservation of seaweeds to contribute to addressing the current challenges of Marine Biotechnology within the framework of the EU Blue Growth St

Research group devoted to the study of the biology of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) and similar species (other scombrids, carangids such as Seriola dumerili, etc.) in captivity. It has the facilities of the Singular Scientific-Technical Infrastructure for Bluefin Tuna Farming (ICTS_ICAR), which it manages.

After several decades of research, fuel cells based on proton exchange membranes (PEMFCs) and redox flow batteries (BFRs) are at a stage in which their operating principles have already been fully demonstrated, but technological aspects still have significant deficiencies, which require further advances. To try to solve some of these problems, this research team explores the complex fluid dynamic processes taking place in both devices, through numerical simulations and experimental techniques.

The group's mission is to carry out research into the optimisation of integrated and sustainable farming of marine species and diversification in aquaculture, using a multidisciplinary approach and favouring the circular economy. To promote the sustainable exploitation of resources and the conservation of biodiversity.

The HADES group's main lines of research are the identification, distribution and characterization, through their structure and functions, of benthic habitats. The research lines respond to European directives such as the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), the Habitats Directive (HD) and the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive (MSPD), collecting and analyzing the scientific information necessary for monitoring the environmental status of benthic habitats to evaluate their conservation status. Its scope of work is the infralittoral, circalittoral and bathyal zones (0-4000 m).

The main goal o fthe group is to understand how breast cancer drugs works.

The group develops research projects related to the factors and mechanisms that evaluate the effects of Marine Protected Areas as management tools for the marine environment. To achieve this, a multidisciplinary approach is adopted that ranges from taxonomy and systematics, to the biology of species, structure and dynamics of populations and benthic communities and the relationship of biological processes with environmental factors.

The group studies soil and organic waste management strategies to mitigate the impact of agricultural practices on greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, N2O and CH4). The group brings experience in the treatment and use of organic waste in agriculture as a strategy to preserve the quality of the soil and enhance its fertility, as well as in the evaluation of the environmental impact of the use of waste. The aim of the group is to improve the sustainability of agricultural systems within the context of the circular economy and promote their decarbonization as a strategy to mitigate climate change.
