Biotechnology solutions to lactose intolerance.
Biotechnology for Lactose Intolerance focuses on the applied, solution side of a common condition. You learn how biotechnology addresses lactose intolerance: producing and using lactase enzymes, manufacturing lactose-free and low-lactose dairy, developing probiotic and microbial approaches, and the enzyme technology behind them. The course connects the underlying biology to real food-tech and therapeutic products. You finish able to reason about biotechnological solutions to lactose intolerance and dairy digestion.
