Cost drivers of cultivated meat production
Elliot Swartz, Ph.D.
Principal Scientist, Cultivated Meat
Webinar description
This webinar will teach you about the current understanding of the cost drivers of cultivated meat production. Through summarizing relevant literature and reports, GFI’s Dr. Elliot Swartz will review the major cost drivers of cell culture media, the solutions being implemented to overcome them, and the remaining gaps facing the industry. Details on infrastructure requirements, facility, bioreactor, and equipment costs, and other process-related considerations will also be covered. By attending, you will gain a detailed understanding of the progress to date and the remaining challenges for reducing the cost of cultivated meat production.
