Spring into STEM | Addressing the Plastic Crisis With Synthetic Biology | Virtual Lecture Series
18 April 2023, 1:00 pm–2:00 pm
Recycling plastic using conventional technology takes enormous resources - sorting, energy, chemicals etc. What if we could use enzymes to break down plastics instead? Dr Gorjan Stojanovski will give his Spring into STEM lecture on using synthetic biology to discover and manufacture these enzymes.
This event is free.
