About

The CSU Alt Protein Project, located at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, is committed to advancing the development and acceptance of alternative proteins. Our core values include sustainability, innovation, and inclusivity. We strive to build a community that supports open-access research and encourages and equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the alternative protein industry.

Colorado State University, a leading research institution, provides a unique context for our group. The university’s strong emphasis on agricultural sciences, animal sciences, and food science, with strong industry ties, offers a solid foundation for exploring alternative proteins. We have specialized programs in fermentation and biomedical engineering, along with courses and labs focusing on cellular and tissue engineering. Additionally, Fort Collins’ vibrant community of environmental and animal rights advocates aligns well with our mission, creating an ideal environment for our initiatives.

Our primary efforts include engaging with the community, organizing educational events, and collaborating with faculty and industry experts. We are committed to achieving meaningful progress in the field of alternative proteins.
