Event description

Join us for an exciting introduction to the world of alternative protein research and its abundance of scientific opportunities. Our subject matter experts will share how both familiar and emerging technologies are being harnessed to accelerate foundational research in meat made with plants, animal stem cells, and microbes. Explore how you can apply your expertise in this domain of high-impact research—where innovation meets growing societal demands for a more sustainable and just protein supply.

The webinar will cover: 

  1. Our theory of change and the case for alternative proteins 
  2. Key technical opportunities and innovations in plant-based, cultivated, and fermentation technologies
  3. Our internal grants and external funding landscape
  4. Useful resources for collaborative research on alternative proteins 

Register for the webinar to learn more about the exciting trajectory of research in alternative proteins that is leading to a paradigm shift in the way we think of meat.
