DESCRIPTION:Café Synthetique is the monthly meetup for the Cambridge synt
 hetic biology community with informal talks\, discussion and pub snacks.\n
 \nAlgae are exciting organisms for synthetic biology: easy to grow and man
 ufacturing an abundance of useful compounds\, they are used in research on
  biofuels\, medicines and carbon capture among many other applications. Mo
 ritz Meyer will introduce his work on re-engineering photosynthesis\, one 
 of the most important processes in biology\, while Payam Mehrshahi examine
 s engineering algae for medicine in this algal double-bill.\n\n*"Re-engine
 ering photosynthesis: the green algal gold mine"*\n\nDr Moritz Meyer\, Dep
 artment of Plant Sciences\n\n*"Using synthetic biology to engineer medicin
 al algae"*\n\nDr Payam Mehrshahi\, Department of Plant Sciences\n\n\n*"Fro
 m turf to surf\, producing a medicinal compound in a eukaryotic algae"*\n\
