RABLS TALK: Sunil Chandran, CSO Impossible Foods

Sunil Chandran, CSO of Impossible Foods will be giving a talk titled: "Synthetic Biology and Biomanufacturing - The Future of Sustainable Consumption"

Abstract:
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.
