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.

it's really an amazing course.. There's so many things we learn, not only focus on about the material about algae but also we learn how the algae could give the big impact in the following years.

Insightful, as a biotechnology student l learnt some things that l couldn't have learnt in class only. I recommend those willing to know more about algae and marine plants to try this course.

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