DESCRIPTION:The Science of Alt Protein: Producing fungi-based foods — alternative proteins and beyondPast\n\n\n\n\nJoin Dr. Tyler Barzee\, Assistant Professor at University of Kentucky\, as he explores recent advances in cultivation and processing technologies for fungi-based foods and probes the next frontiers in this promising field. \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\n \n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent description\n\n\n\nHow can we harness the versatility\, diversity\, and mystery of filamentous fungi to produce novel and sustainable foods? Filamentous fungi are finding new applications in a diverse array of food products including alternative proteins. Join Dr. Tyler Barzee\, Assistant Professor at University of Kentucky\, as he explores recent advances in cultivation and processing technologies for fungi-based foods and probes the next frontiers through case studies of (1) an unlikely microbial partnership and (2) a surprising myco-opportunity.  \n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTyler Barzee\n\n\n\n\n\nAssistant Professor\, Bioprocess Engineering \n\n\n\nDr. Barzee is an Assistant Professor of Bioprocess Engineering at University of Kentucky. His team investigates and models new microbial technologies to put our renewable resources to better use. Despite research interests in nearly every type of microbe\, filamentous fungi remain his favorite due to their unique properties\, mysterious lifecycles\, and untapped potential. In addition to leading a research lab\, he is also a co-inventor of a fungal cultivation and processing technology that is currently under development by fungi-based food startup company Optimized Foods. He received his Ph.D. in Biological Systems Engineering from University of California Davis. \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													October 13\, 2026\n											McNamara Alumni Center\n																	\n				\n				\n					Bridge2Food North America\n				\n				\n							\n				Join GFI at Bridge2Food North America\, where food industry leaders will gather to explore the latest developments in ingredient innovation… \n\n			\n								\n										\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											FAO Headquarters\n																	\n				\n				\n					World Food Forum 2026: Protein diversification for the Global South\n				\n				\n							\n				How can protein diversification strengthen food systems across the Global South?
