Event description

As the demand for dairy products rises and concerns about the environmental impact of traditional milk production grow, scientists and companies are turning to cellular agriculture as a promising alternative for producing animal proteins. One approach involves the in vitro cultivation of bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) to produce milk components. However, challenges remain, particularly in efficiently stimulating lactogenesis and scaling up production.

Join us on October 17th for our next Science of Alt Protein seminar, where Jing Che of Aarhus University will present her research on the secretomes of in vitro cultivated bMECs using transwell systems. She will also discuss how closely these lab-grown milk components currently resemble conventional milk and the significant challenges that must be overcome to produce milk in vitro.
