About the Course

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....

ALGAE CAN MITIGATE ALL KINDS OF DEBACLE RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL DEBACLE, FOOD ,FEED.FUEL AND THERAPEUTIC AGENTS. MUCH ATTENTION HAVE TO BE GIVEN IN THIS FIELD.

First half was really informative from a scientific viewpoint, although just as in the intro course the visual presentation could be made better (clearer, less messy). The second half, however, felt more like a company pitch meeting. It's great if you're interested to see which companies are out there, and it is interesting to see the science in commercial use, but I think it's iffy to mix in business into education. Also, I'm here for the sciency geekness, hehe. All in all, good.

It has been interesting, but some of the videos are more similar to a comercial advertisement than a biotech presentation.

It is very funny to find, in a Biotechnology course, that some of the companies are claiming that their products are "Non-GMO"

In some talks there is no supplementary material provided in order to expand the knowledge

Very uneven lectures, some were okay; but many were basically just a grad student summarizing their research. Or worse, some company describing their product.
