EP09: Genetic Engineering, Biomaterial Design & Sequencing for Growth Media & Cell Lines
In this enlightening edition of the Protein Production Technology Webinar Series, Nick Bradley introduces us to the burgeoning world of cultivated meat. Addressing challenges from scalability to maintaining product quality, the conversation sheds light on the multi-disciplinary approach to cultivated meat involving biology, biotechnology, engineering, and food science.
Four distinguished panelists, Catherine Elton of Qkine, Rowan Rimington of Ivy Farm, Ramiro Alberio of Pluri Cells, and Cai Linton of Multus, contribute their expertise on topics ranging from the role of genetic engineering in meat production to optimizing growth factors and cell lines. Ethical concerns, quality enhancements, and the regulatory landscape are also delved into.
With cultivated meat poised as the potential answer to global food security, animal welfare, and sustainability, this discussion presents an insightful snapshot of the current state of the industry and its promising future.
