The Macular Pigment Research Group (MPRG, www.mprg.ie) at Waterford Institute of Technology have secured funding for an interesting project aimed at identifying and optimising conditions for producing carotenoids in (micro) algae.

Lutein (L), a compound which is entirely of dietary origin, is essential for optimal vision and protection against the world’s leading cause of blindness (age-related macular degeneration). Currently, the world’s L market depends solely on extraction of this carotenoid from the marigold flower head and is highly seasonal dependent. This project will develop a method of L production from an alternative source (e.g. micro algae) to help meet the growing global demand for L. As this is a highly specialised area of research, we are seeking a scientist with experience in algae cultivation and carotenoid extraction and analysis.
