Event description

The availability of appropriate cell lines for cultivated seafood research and product development remains quite limited. Last year, GFI surveyed and interviewed researchers involved in the development and use of aquatic animal cell lines to better understand the technical challenges they face and what strategies they have found effective.

The findings from that project have recently been published as a guide for new and experienced researchers aiming to develop continuous cell lines from fish and crustaceans. Join GFI’s Senior Lead Scientist Claire Bomkamp, PhD, for a webinar summarizing common pitfalls and effective troubleshooting strategies.
