We are driven by discovery

Andrew Spicer, CEO of Algenuity, is passionate that discovery has always been at the heart of Algenuity, since founding the company in 2009. Last summer, he booked himself a two-week holiday to return to the lab with some high risk, high reward research ideas, still motivated by the excitement of scientific discovery, despite his ever-increasing responsibilities as CEO!

Come and meet us at the ABO Summit!

The Algae Biomass Organization (ABO) Summit is the largest event of its kind, bringing together algal experts from a variety of different areas. Join us in Texas from the 14th to the 17th of October, and visit Booth 416 to discuss our multiparametric bioprocess optimisation – a radically different approach using statistical modelling. We have already increased the productivity of Arthrospira platensis and Haematococcus pluvialis , so come and see how we can make the most out of your strain. If you are interested in finding out more, email info@algenuity.com.

Case study: Improving global food security through aquaculture

Aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector globally, but stock death as a result of disease is costing farmers over ten billion USD annually. We worked with biotech company MicroSynbiotiX on the modification of microalgae strains for the development of novel, cost-effective oral delivery platforms for aquaculture vaccine administration.

Taking a closer look at algal blooms

Scientists at the John Innes Centre are relying on our Algem® photobioreactors to better understand the growth conditions required for increasingly common algal blooms, and how these are linked to extreme weather patterns. Their work has centred around Prymnesium golden algae – which releases a toxin lethal to gill-breathing organisms – in order to develop early detection systems to help prevent algal blooms or minimise the harm that they can cause.

That's it for now!
