Cultivated
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.
Cell culture media from yeast
Years active: 2024This project creates a cost-effective nutrient source for cultivated meat production from sustainably growing lipid-rich yeast on lupin waste.
Microalgae for sustainable cultivated meat
Years active: 2024This project uses microalgae to recycle mammalian cell culture media and create amino acids for growth supplements for cultivated meat production.
Agricultural sidestreams for culture media
Years active: 2024This project will assess the functionality of various agricultural sidestream derived cell culture media components.
