SWIM: Advancing the science of cultivated crustaceans
Event description
Join GFI for a Seafood Webinar and Informal Networking (SWIM) event where we will hear from experts on cultivated crustaceans and seafood allergenicity. Dr. Ka Yi Ling will be speaking about Shiok Meats’ work on developing and commercializing cultivated crustaceans, and Dr. Andreas Lopata will tell us about his work on seafood allergens and the implications for the future of seafood. After the lectures, we will move to an optional networking session to build bridges and identify opportunities for collaboration.
