Advanced Atlantic halibut cell lines
Years active: 2025This project creates commercially-relevant halibut cell lines that are serum-free and suspension-adapted, supported by AI-guided media optimization.
Seafood
Southern flounder muscle cell line
Years active: 2025This project will develop a southern flounder muscle cell line for cultivated seafood, optimized for suspension culture and serum-free media.
On-chip lobster cell immortalization
Years active: 2025This project uses microfluidic chips and chaotic bioprinting to develop cell lines for safe, cruelty-free, and sustainable cultivated lobster meat.
Sunflower byproducts for sustainable food
Years active: 2024This project uses sustainable processing to transform sunflower meal into a protein-rich, eco-friendly ingredient for human food.
Seaweed proteins for cultivated meat (SeaToMeat)
Years active: 2024This project generates low-cost, high-performance hydrolysates from seaweed proteins for cell culture media to support cultivated meat production.
Upcycling wheat bran for fermentation
Years active: 2024This project called Wheat-UP will upcycle wheat bran into new ingredients for hybrid foods using oils from yeast and mycelium protein biomass.
Cost-effective meat-like protein production
Years active: 2024New protein extraction processes will be developed for yeast-based meat proteins to reduce costs and negative environmental impact.
Conversion of fish fibroblasts to muscle cells
Years active: 2023Utilize bioinformatics to characterize cell populations in fish muscles, employing this data to directly convert fish fibroblasts into muscle cells.
Multi-omic profiling for cultivated seafood
Years active: 2023This project will leverage multi-omic data to analyze several fish species in depth.
CulFish
Years active: 2023This project will produce an animal-free source of nutrients from upcycled waste streams for fish cells, enabling reductions in the cost of cultivated fish.
