Title MUT International Week EPISODE 1 : ALGAL DEPARTMENT PART 1
--:--
The Centre for Algal Biotechnology (CAB) – a first for South Africa and one of a few internationally that focuses on integrating microalgal research with commercial industries – is responsible for providing research infrastructure and supervision for Postgraduate students from UKZN and DUT.
The aims of the Centre are:
To identify indigenous species of microalgae that producers a commercially valuable product.
To optimise the cellular production of the value added biological compound.
To determine the economic feasibility of commercialising the value added product.
To collaborate with biotechnology industries to setup commercial incubators.
To collaborate with national and international researchers in the area of algal biotechnology and ecology.
To produce DOE recognised research outputs.
Prof Akash Anandraj, Dr Taurai Mutanda and Dr Joseph Bwapwa explains the research the department with other universities within South Africa and International.
