The Alt Protein Project is a global community of student groups that seeks to change that. We inspire\, train\, and empower students to transform their universities into engines for alternative protein research\, education\, and innovation\, and—in so doing—we propel students to the forefront of the alternative protein movement. Read more about our community and apply to join. If you have any questions\, join one of our information sessions for interested student organizers on February 16th to learn more about what it takes to join this vibrant community of leaders and change-makers. We offer two sessions to help accommodate different time zones so choose whichever one works best for you as we’ll cover the same topic in both sessions.  \n\n\n\nRegister here for the February 16th information session at 11 am EST / 8 am PST.If that time is not convenient for you\, we also offer another information session on February 16th at 8 pm EST / 5 pm PST.

SUMMARY:Science of alt protein: Production of animal fat substitutes by yeasts
DESCRIPTION:Science of Alt Protein: Production of animal fat substitutes by yeastsPast\n\n\n\n\nJoin our next Science of Alt Protein seminar where Dr. Kyria Boundy-Mills of UC Davis will share her research on yeasts that convert inexpensive substrates into oils\, including substitutes for animal fat and tropical oils for meat alternatives. \n\n\n\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\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Kyria Boundy-Mills\n\n\n\nCurator\, Phaff Yeast Culture Collection\, Department of Food Science and Technology\, University of California Davis \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar description\n\n\n\nApplied uses of yeasts have expanded well beyond beer\, bread\, and wine. This talk will focus primarily on Dr. Boundy-Mills’ research on yeasts that convert inexpensive substrates into oils. This includes substitutes for animal fat and tropical oils for meat substitutes\, renewable alternatives to petroleum\, and a new class of glycolipid biosurfactants. Her research program uses the more than 1\,500 species in the Phaff Yeast Culture Collection at UC Davis\, plus over 60 years of unpublished data. By using her knowledge of yeasts in general\, and the collection’s specimens and data\, partnerships with industry have resulted in the discovery of yeasts useful for a broad range of basic and applied uses. \n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Kyria Boundy-Mills\n\n\n\nCURATOR\, PHAFF YEAST CULTURE COLLECTION\, DEPARTMENT OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY\, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS \n\n\n\nDr. Kyria Boundy-Mills earned her Ph.D. in biochemistry at the University of Minnesota\, studying one gene of one yeast species. After postdoctoral fellowships in microbial ecology there and at North Carolina State University\, she relocated to UC Davis and partnered with yeast microbiologist and emeritus professor Dr. Herman Phaff. She realized how much she DIDN’T know about yeasts\, and absorbed just a fraction of his considerable enthusiasm for yeasts. She took over the management of the collection when Dr. Phaff passed away in 2001. As steward of this 100-year-old collection\, she rescued and upgraded the collection\, expands it through acquisitions\, uses it in her own research program\, and amplifies basic and applied use of the collection worldwide. \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…
