JCU Inspiration on Tap

The upcoming Inspiration on Tap event puts health centre stage. Join Dr. Mohammad Farouq Sharifpour as he spotlights previously undiscovered health benefits of the superfood algae known as Spirulina. Hear from JCU Lecturer Ruth Nona Renshaw and Griffith University’s Professor Amanda Wheeler about the highlights of the Indigenous Medic*tion Review Service (IMeRSe) project.

The surprising health effects of algae-based medicines

Spirulina is a superfood with a long history. First Nations people in Central America would use these blue-green microalgae as an ingredient to bake healthy cakes that were loaded with proteins, vitamins and minerals. Now, Dr. Mohammad Farouq Sharifpour and fellow researchers at the Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine (AITHM) are investigating newly discovered health effects that could turn Spirulina into a platform for innovative health solutions.
