Biotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security: From Molecular Insights to Practical Solutions
– with Vaibhav Srivastava
KTH's bioengineering research has centered on finding valuable biomolecules and biobased alternatives to conventional chemical treatments, such as pesticides. Recently, this has led to a potential method of combatting potato late blight. Join this seminar with Vaibhav Srivastava as he guides us through complex biological systems to address global challenges in agriculture and food security.
