A wonderful collaboration with Justin Findinier and Arthur Grossman🤗 Carnegie Science

Always exciting to launch a new algae strain but even more so when it’s a macro algae strain! This is a first for AzCATI. Everyone watching it swirl.

This week BioE 300 students begin their lab practicals. It’s amazing to me that this is already the 4th time this course has been run! Time flies KAUST. Course TAs Gordon Wellman Sebastian Overmans, PhD Mauricio LPM & Melany this year.

#KAUST scientists led by Prof. Kyle J. Lauersen devised a green synthetic solution using engineered #algae to produce a #sustainable alternative to make Oudh. The process helps protect the endangered tree species required to produce traditional Oudh.

جامعة الملك عبدالله Kyle J. Lauersen شكراً Kyle J. Lauersen وشكراً جامعة الملك عبدالله وشكراً لحكومة #Saudi_Arabia 🇸🇦 على الدعم لتسخير علوم #التقنية_الحيوية مثل #gene_transformation لخدمة البشرية.
هذا المجال حيوي وواعد لتسخير الطحالب في إنتاج مواد ثانوية أخرى كثيرة تخدم المجال الصيدلاني والغذائي والتجميلي وغيره.
💐Well done

طور باحثون من #كاوست بقيادة البروفيسور Kyle J. Lauersen، أستاذ مساعد في قسم الهندسة الحيوية في الجامعة، طريقة مبتكرة وخضراء لإنتاج بعض من الروائح المعقدة لخشب العود باستخدام هندسة #الطحالب ، مما يعتبر حلاً مستداماً يساهم في حماية أشجار العود المهددة بالانقراض.
