Science
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.
Enhanced scalable bovine cell line
Years active: 2025This project combines a naturally muscle-enhancing bovine cell line with an engineered growth switch to make cultivated meat scalable and affordable.
Meaty taste = mushrooms + alliums
Years active: 2025This project uses mushrooms to brew natural flavors, making plant-based foods savory.
Single-cell protein from coconut meal
Years active: 2025This project will develop plant-based sausages using a protein-rich yeast biomass to improve taste, texture, nutrition, and overall quality.
Natural meat color with yeast
Years active: 2025This project will develop red-coloured yeast cells used to make plant-based products mimic whole-cut meat products (e.g., steak).
Scalable, accessible bovine fat cells
Years active: 2025This project engineers immortalized bovine fat cells for single-cell suspension growth and reduced metabolic waste in long-term serum-free cultures.
