Algal Research

Algal research involves studying algae—simple, plant-like organisms that live in water. Scientists explore their biology, how they grow, and their potential uses, such as producing biofuels, bioplastics, and natural health products. This research aims to improve algae cultivation, make it more efficient, and discover new ways to harness their benefits for energy, environmental sustainability, and industry. Since algae grow quickly and require minimal resources, they are seen as a promising renewable resource that can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and address environmental challenges.
