Algae and Synthetic Ecology: The Digest’s 2019 Multi-Slide Guide to New Mexico Consortium

New Mexico Consortium is non-profit corporation formed by 3 NM universities to facilitate research collaborations for universities, industry & Los Alamos Laboratory. They are looking to algae as a solution where cell factories could produce energy in a carbon neutral way with a primary focus on developing best producers (sourcing, strain selection, genetic modification).

Alina Corcoran, Research Scientist at New Mexico Consortium, gave this illuminating overview of why algae, how it is being challenged by variability and the role of synthetic biology in all this, and more, at ABLC Global 2018 in San Francisco
