Here's the latest, straight to your inbox! Updates on new projects, the latest on a major government grant project, some light and inspirational reading, and a survey that could help you design a new university program. Read more below....
New Science Engine Project - Generating Fish Cell Line Data
|
|
|
|
|
A 7-person team from the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University with expertise across molecular biology, antibodies, fish cell line development, computational biology and modeling, software engineering, and bioinformatics are tackling a cultivated seafood problem.
Cultivated seafood research is bottlenecked by a lack of data. This project aims to fill this gap by generating genetic data using the KFE-5 (killifish) cell line.
The project will lay the groundwork for optimizing cell line performance, serum free media development, and antibody development.

"Cultivated Meat to Secure Our Future" - New Open Access Chapter
|
|
|
"Cultivated Meat to Secure Our Future: Hope for Animals, Food Security, and the Environment", edited by Michel Vandenbosch and Philip Lymbery is a new book that has just come out from Lantern Books.
This book informs, inspires, and opens debates about cultivated meat through a collection of essays by several figures in the cellular agriculture world.
Contributors include Ira Van Eelen, Chase Purdy, author of Billion Dollar Burger and Hanna Tuomisto one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of environmental sustainability assessment of cell-cultured food production technologies.
Isha Datar of New Harvest contributed a final chapter, which lays out the future that is possible with cellular agriculture - if we want it.
Take a look at the chapter: "A New Harvest - A New World" and let us know what you think.
The full book can be purchased here.

CARMA: Cellular Agriculture Manufacturing Hub
|
|
|
|
The UK government-funded Cellular Agriculture Manufacturing Hub 'CARMA' is working to transform food production.
|
|
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research & Innovation, is funding a £12 million Cellular Agriculture Manufacturing Hub over the next seven years.
The hub will be led by Professor Marianne Ellis at the University of Bath, where New Harvest has funded three New Harvest Research Fellows since 2017 (Scott Allan, Allison Esperanza, and Lily Westerhoff).
They have just launched their website, where you can read more about the proposed work packages in the grant, and the grand challenges in cellular agriculture that they aim to tackle.
We're so proud of this group! This grant is nearly ten years the making, thanks to the persistence and leadership of Dr. Marianne Ellis.
UCLA Cellular Agriculture Industry Needs Survey
|
|
The University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) is building a new research and education program in cellular agriculture.
The team putting this together is led by Amy Rowat, (who has been supervising New Harvest Research Fellow Stephanie Kawecki) and Muriel Vernon.
They would love input from the field to identify the skills the field and industry is looking for in newly graduated students to be competitive hires.
Their program aims to produce students with training that is comprehensive, immersive, and inclusive of all aspects of cellular agriculture. Participation in this survey is critical to building a holistic educational framework that enables students to enter the industry as the top applicants in the field.
