New drugs of marine origin for unmet medical needs


Sea4Us is a biotechnology company with facilities in Sagres and Lisbon (Portugal).

It specializes in the discovery and development of new substances and molecules of marine origin, for application in unmet medical needs that require new chemical approaches and innovative molecular solutions.

Sea4Us has developed a platform whose pillars are marine biology and cellular excitability – ion channels – through which it identifies new molecules (derived from marine organisms) which it then transforms into drugs that respond to clinical needs that have not yet been met. This drug discovery platform makes it possible to identify new ion channel modulators involved in different pathologies, such as chronic pain, epilepsy, diabetes, cardiac arrhythmia, hypertension and skin diseases, among others.

The company’s activity is focused on the study of the bioactivity of compounds from marine organisms, their biotechnological and/or synthetic production, and the pharmaceutical development of these innovative chemicals for application in human health – including non-clinical and initial clinical trials.

The development of new drugs and the improvement of patients’ living conditions is our main driving force.
