Biometric calcification for carbon sequestration from seawater 
News Article, June 7, 2023 • Numerous objectives are involved in helping researchers work on biomimetic calcification for carbon sequestration from seawater. An integrated data science and experimental approach is being taken to the challenges of direct capture of CO2 from the ocean. A large group of marine microalgae, coccolithophores, produce calcium carbonate (calcite) plates referred...

Microbiome editing to improve economic viability of algae growth as a feedstock
News Article, June 27, 2023 • The major challenge with using algae as a feedstock is growing it economically, which hinges strongly on the ability to prevent pond crashes due to biotic factors, like bacteria. Phages, the viruses of bacteria, offer an unexplored solution to this problem. In contrast to antibiotics, phages are typically species-specific and...
