About This Course
CRISPR and Synthetic Biology for Environmental Restoration explores how genetic and synthetic-biology tools are being applied to heal the environment. You learn how engineered microbes and organisms can degrade pollutants, how synthetic biology designs biological systems for remediation and restoration, and the emerging, carefully-debated ideas around gene drives and conservation. The course pairs the powerful potential with the biosafety, ecological and ethical caution such interventions demand. You finish able to reason critically about engineered-biology approaches to environmental restoration. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
