Mike Packer Ph.D. Consultant Research Scientist

I have deep experience with all things algae - micro and macro (rimurimu seaweed) and also other photosynthetic aquatic organisms like cyanobacteria - their biology and especially their biotechnological uses.

I can help with

  • Product ideas and value chain design

  • Biotechnology project and research planning, grant applications (including technical writing, etc)

  • Commercial pathways and assessments for biotechnology and aquaculture

  • Growth systems, hatchery systems and aquaculture production

  • Harvesting, biomass extraction and processing systems

  • Process and commercial operation design

  • Market research and techno-economic assessment
