DESCRIPTION:
 Sunil Chandran, CSO of Impossible Foods will be 
 giving a talk titled: "Synthetic Biology and Biomanufacturing - 
 The Future of Sustainable Consumption"\n
 \n
 Abstract: \n
 Consumers today have multiple options when it 
 comes to their daily lifestyle choices. While 
 cost, convenience, and quality are usually the 
 primary drivers of consumer purchase, sustainability 
 is usually an afterthought. However, recent advances 
 in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing allow 
 for the sustainable production of consumer goods 
 without forcing the consumers to compromise on 
 their own priorities. There are numerous instances 
 of biomanufacturing being successfully deployed 
 in various markets including food, cosmetics, 
 pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and energy, to name 
 a few. In this seminar, we will cover biological 
 solutions that have been successfully deployed 
 to manufacturing consumer products, challenges 
 that still prevent biotechnology from being adopted 
 more widely, and the technical solutions that 
 are being pursued to address these challenges.\n\n
