LAB IN THE BOX🦠🔬🧪

Hi Folks!! Follow me on Instagram  LAB IN THE BOX 1. IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING IN BIOTECHNOLOGY Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are booming in recent days, which is creating an impact in Biotechnology too. AI & ML  have revolutionized the field of biotech by enabling us to analyze and interpret large amounts of Biological data at a much faster  rate than before. This has resulted in the development of new Drugs, more accurate diagnosis and also in personalized treatment. AI & ML are being used in Drug discovery & Designing in Silico Medicine It is also  being used to predict Disease Outbreaks and the spread of Infectious Diseases [E.g.:- In COVID 19] It is also being used in Medical Imaging and diagnosis to Improve Accuracy and Speed. 2. APTAMER TECHNOLOGY Aptamers are short Nucleic Acid molecules that can bind to specific targets such as proteins or cells, with high affinity and specificity. Depending on this role, we can utilize

Hi Folks!! Follow me on Instagram  LAB IN THE BOX BACTERIAL USAGE FOR REMOVING OIL SPILLS Petroleum based products are major source of energy for industry and daily life. Due to it's high demand, the competition for oil trade is also high. Certainly the leaks and accidents occur on a regular basis. The latest one being the oil spill in Mauritius on July 25, which lead to lead to leakage of about 1400 tonnes of oil into the Island waters. Oil spills and its impacts on the environment are a growing concern for scientists and environmentalists. These disasters lead to huge loss of biodiversity and economy. Impact of oil spills on environment can be severe. The oil floats on water and prevent sunlight to pass through them, which kills the plants and animals which need sunlight. The oil can also clog the blowholes of whales and dolphins, leading to suffocation and death. Seabird's feather gets sticky and heavy, making them unable to fly. It destroys the insulating ability of fur - b

 Here are some laboratory projects involving microalgae that can be highly beneficial to society: 1. Microalgae-Based Water Purification: Develop a system using microalgae to treat and purify wastewater. This project can focus on removing contaminants like heavy metals, organic pollutants, and nutrients from sewage, making water safer for reuse or discharge. 2. Algae-Based Air Quality Improvement: Investigate the use of microalgae to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and produce oxygen. This could be applied in closed environments, such as spacecraft or underground facilities, to improve air quality. 3. Nutrient Recycling : Create a closed-loop system where microalgae are used to recover nutrients from organic waste or agricultural runoff. The harvested microalgae biomass can then be used as a nutrient-rich fertilizer, promoting sustainable agriculture. 4. Bioenergy from Microalgae: Focus on producing biofuels (e.g., biodiesel or bioethanol) from microalgae. This contributes to
