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.
Science
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.

Directed evolution using Raman activated cell sorting
The combination of flow cytometry—which allows single cell analysis and sorting—with Raman spectroscopy—which allows crude biochemical analysis of cells—can be used to develop new strains of microorganisms with enriched protein, fat, or iron compounds.
