SUMMARY:Computer modeling in cultivated meat
DESCRIPTION:The emerging landscape of computer modeling in cultivated meat\n	Share this page on Facebook\n	\n	Share on Facebook\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\nPast\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for our next Science of Alt Protein seminar where members of the Cultivated Meat Modeling Consortium will describe how computational modeling can accelerate the optimization of both processes and products. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCultivated Meat \n\n\n\nModeling Consortium\n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent description\n\n\n\nCultivated meat promises to solve some of the world’s most urgent problems\, including feeding ten billion people by 2050\, preserving ocean ecosystems\, and reducing animal agriculture’s impact on the climate. Yet\, to fulfill this promise requires that the cultivated meat field first develop efficient processes that create desirable products. \n\n\n\nThe Cultivated Meat Modeling Consortium (est. 2019) believes using computational modeling can accelerate the optimization of both processes and products\, enabling the field to mature into an industry years before it otherwise would\, while also reducing the cost of that transformation. Their aim is to develop the computational modeling technologies needed to achieve this acceleration. \n\n\n\nJoin us on March 24th to hear directly from engineers and scientists involved in CMMC projects and their journey thus far. \n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the presenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCultivated Meat Modeling Consortium\n\n\n\n\n\nThe mission of the Cultivated Meat Modeling Consortium (CMMC) is to accelerate the delivery of affordable high-quality cultivated meat products the consumer market demands. The members’ vision is to collaborate on the development of computational modeling approaches the industry can use to optimize growth processes and product characteristics. \n\n\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…
