Green downstream processing
Years active: 2024This research project intends to develop an innovative approach for downstream processing of precision fermentation biomasses.
Europe
Upcycling of side streams
Years active: 2024Over 20% of plant protein is underutilized. This project addresses that challenge by developing more efficient protein recovery.
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.
TRANSFORM ‘Waste-to-Microbial Protein’
Years active: 2023This project will develop new tools and knowledge on optimized, scalable, and sustainable fermentation-derived protein based on low-cost, food-grade carbon sourced from waste.
Sustainable chicken mushroom mycelia production technology
Years active: 2023Development of sustainable production technology for the manufacturing of high-quality chicken mushroom mycelium as a future meat substitute.
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.
Plant proteins: Structuring through processing
Years active: 2023Integrating high-moisture extrusion and post-structuring technologies for improved textures from plant proteins.
Neutron scattering during extrusion of meat analogs
Years active: 2023With neutron scattering, this project aims to understand how plant protein melts solidify into fiber-like meat analogs during extrusion processes.
The Frozen Farmyard: A cell line repository
Years active: 2019, 2020, 2021Learn about Dr. Gareth Sullivan’s work to develop a “frozen farmyard” cell line repository for cultivated meat.
