Event description

Join us for an engaging virtual collaborative huddle hosted by The Good Food Institute. This event aims to bring together cultivated seafood researchers and innovators from around the world to engage in scientific exchange, peer learning, and collaborative problem-solving around the field’s most pressing challenges.

During the registration process, we invite you to select specific topics of interest, allowing us to create breakout groups that foster focused discussion and maximize opportunities for open knowledge-sharing and innovative brainstorming.

During this session, topics will include:

  • Cell isolation and controlling contamination
  • Optimizing culture conditions during cell line development
  • Characterizing and validating your cell line

Our goal in hosting these sessions is to advance a shared understanding and unlock solutions that will accelerate the realization of all the public benefits cultivated seafood has to offer.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with colleagues and contribute to our collaborative effort to strengthen the cultivated seafood knowledge base and support the field’s continued growth through mission-aligned inquiry.

Who’s invited?

This event is intended for academics, researchers, and innovators who are already established in the field of cultivated seafood. We also welcome students, including those not yet actively engaged in research. Other interested parties, such as journalists, investors, or the merely curious, should instead explore our seafood-focused YouTube channel or some of our other events, such as the Science of Alt Protein seminar series. Please note that only academics, researchers, innovators in the field of cultivated seafood, and students will receive a link to join.
