Algae Biotechnology at Coursera Course details
- For decades, researchers have been studying microalgae to understand their biological functions and how we can use technology to harness algae?s power to create a wide range of commercial products.
- In this course, we will cover how synthetic biology, genetic engineering, and metabolic engineering is used in algae biotechnology, and also examine the current state of algae biotechnology research and tools.
- We?ll also explore some of the common bio-products we can make from algae, and take a look at some real-world algae companies that are using algae biotechnology to create products consumers can buy today.
- This course is part of a series of courses produced by the Algae Technology Educational Consortium and UC San Diego with funding from the Algae Foundation, National Renewable Energy Lab, and the U.S. Department of Energy.
