Solutions-based algal research in a range of sectors
About
I direct Bigelow's Center for Algal Innovations conducting solutions-based research with algae. We focus on wastewater remediation, aquaculture and natural products. We partner Bigelow's National Center for Marine Algae - an algal germplasm repository containing a wide diversity of marine algae.
