SUMMARY:The 7th Industrializing Cultivated Meat & Seafood Summit
DESCRIPTION:The 7th Industrializing Cultivated Meat & Seafood SummitPast\n\n\n\n\nGFI’s Elliot Swartz\, Ph.D.\, will share insights at the 7th Industrializing Cultivated Meat & Seafood Summit in Boston. Join Elliot and other experts as they discuss R&D innovations that can drive down costs\, improve scalability\, and accelerate progress toward bringing cultivated meat and seafood to market. \n\n\n\n	Share this page on Bluesky\n	                    \n	Share on Bluesky\n\n\n	Share this page on Threads\n	            \n	Share on Threads\n\n\n	Share this page on Twitter\n	\n	Share on X\n\n\n	Share this page on LinkedIn\n	\n	Share on LinkedIn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent description\n\n\n\nThe 7th Industrializing Cultivated Meat & Seafood Summit is the premier gathering focused on the bioprocessing breakthroughs enabling cultivated meat and seafood to scale. This year’s summit will feature GFI Principal Scientist Elliot Swartz\, Ph.D.\, whose research spans bioprocess design and cost modeling for cultivated meat. \n\n\n\nElliot will speak on the panel “R&D Innovations that Enhance Performance and Reduce Cost\,” where participants will examine: \n\n\n\n\nThe quantities of individual amino acids needed for large-scale cultivated meat production.\n\n\n\nThe anticipated cost contributions of amino acids in the production process.\n\n\n\nStrategies to address supply constraints and explore alternative sourcing options\, such as protein hydrolysates.\n\n\n\n\nElliot’s work highlights how science can remove the bottlenecks to scaling cultivated meat. By advancing open-access research and collaboration across the field\, we can strengthen food security\, expand consumer choice\, and accelerate the shift toward a more resilient global food system. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent location\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGFI speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElliot Swartz\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\nSENIOR PRINCIPAL SCIENTIST\, CULTIVATED MEAT \n\n\n\nElliot’s work at GFI focuses on analyzing the technical and economic bottlenecks facing the cultivated meat industry\, identifying opportunities to accelerate the industry\, and educating scientists\, the public\, and other industry stakeholders. For the past five years\, Elliot has worked on projects ranging from food safety and environmental impact to in-depth analysis of the cultivated meat value chain. Elliot holds a Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, where he worked with induced pluripotent stem cells to model neuromuscular disease. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming events\n\n\n\nView all events\n\n\n\n\n	\n															\n								\n		\n										\n						\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													November 12\, 2026\n																\n								Virtual Event\n																			\n				\n				\n					The Science of Alt Protein: Genome-scale modeling of porcine cell metabolism\n				\n				\n							\n				Explore how a GFI-funded genome-scale metabolic model can reveal porcine cell nutrient requirements and inform lower-cost culture media for cultivated…
