Our research focus is on utilizing algal hydrolysates as a replacement for fetal bovine serum in culture media for cultivated meat production. Our goal is to reduce production costs and increase sustainability in the alternative protein industry. We are investigating various types of algae and their hydrolysis methods to identify the best compositions for muscle cell growth and proliferation. This research can be directly applied to the cultivated meat industry, helping to address challenges related to the use of animal serum in the production of these products. We are seeking collaboration with companies active in the alternative protein field to test our findings on an industrial scale and move towards commercialization. Additionally, we are interested in knowledge exchange and cooperation with other researchers in this domain to contribute to the overall advancement of this technology.
