This project is initiated to shift this company from having developed an advanced algae cultivation platform developed through research, into a commercial enterprise. To achieve this we need to build demand for the algae product (spirulina) within the market place. As we succeed in creating demand, this will trigger the release of funding to continue […]

The aim of the research is to conduct two studies. The first component is to conduct a robust literature review on methods to estimate above and below carbon in temperate (green carbon), and mangrove ecosystems (blue carbon). This component of the proposed research will be aimed to identify a package of monitoring tools that can […]

Recent studies have shown that the gut microbiome works as an organ of the human body. The gut microbiome functions like an endocrine organ producing bioactive metabolites. Since the gut microbiome is in close interaction with the human internal environment and changes in the compositions of gut microbiota can impact host physiology through many pathways. […]
