The Role of Academia in Developing
Cultivated Meat and Alt Proteins
Here, a moderated panel of academics will discuss the
efforts being made at US institutions to help commercialize cultivated
meat. This would include research and technology
development, teaching and training, and continuing education. The panel will also discuss limitations of
current approaches and where the largest opportunities lie for academia.
