Algae Biotechnology for Biomedical and Nutritional Applications offers a foundational and in-depth overview of various micro and macroalgal species, their industrial production processes, and the latest developments and applications of algae in biomedical fields designed explicitly for integrated algal biotechnology. The book covers research from the last few decades, including algal structures and properties, algal biomedicine, algal genomics, and algal toxicology. In addition, it presents algal biomaterials, algal medicinal foods, and algal production for biomedicine as well as applications for microalgae, including pharmaceutical, nutritional, and value-added bioproducts. An international array of expert researchers in the field author each chapter.

• Covers basic and applied research on scaling up algae biochemicals for commercial use
• Discusses underexplored and underutilized health benefits from chemicals derived from marine sources
• Provides broad coverage of integrated algal biotechnology and engineering for biomedical issues and their solutions
• Presents a roadmap for potential applications of integrated algal biotechnology in dietary supplements and biomedical products
