Our research focuses on intrinsic and environmental factors governing cell identity to manipulate cell fate for cultured meat applications. We seek to enhance the affordability and scalability of CM production by culturing various primary and immortalized source cells and then optimizing the cells’ proliferation and differentiation protocols. Together with our collaborators, we develop novel scaffold and bioreactor designs, leveraging and combining stem cell technology and tissue engineering principles.
