Optimizing growth media for bovine cells
Years active: 2023Dr. Betenbaugh is developing a model-based approach to optimize media to reduce the cost of cultivated meat and improve product yield and quality.
Cultivated
Genome-scale metabolic model of porcine cells
Years active: 2023A genome-scale metabolic model of porcine cells will be constructed and validated to identify the most efficient way to feed porcine cells.
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.

Consumer and sensory research to guide alternative fish R&D
Consumer and sensory research can help companies and academic researchers better understand seafood consumers' needs and desires. Understanding consumers' needs will allow alternative fish researchers to ask and prioritize the correct biological and technical questions. Appropriate and thoughtful prioritization can avoid unnecessarily diluting resources in the short term and ensure that the expanding product landscape in the long term is well-matched to customer expectations.
