The new center is expected to have special ships with laboratories on board for study of marine species.

If taken seriously, Mukherjee feels, marine resources could offer a lot of nutraceuticals or food supplements and nutrients that can help cure a number of ailments like cancer.

The global nutraceutical market currently has several major players like Wockhardt, Lupin, Morepen Laboratories, Dabur and Himalaya competing in a market pegged at around $74 billion.

"We are looking for investments in Oman partly as we want early discovery done there. We also want to do the process and manufacturing there for marketing the product across the world. We also want to develop a marine depository in Oman," said Mukherjee.

The project envisages research and development of both nutraceuticals and therapeutic drugs. All these activities are expected to generate a market for trained manpower within Oman and also open up avenues for entrepreneurs.

Mukherjee sees potential to develop anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-obesity and other such drugs that could help improve the quality of life.

Within the country also DRF is networking with over a score of universities and institutions to develop products and drugs that could provide cures or improve health of human beings.
