Research + Innovation

Driving scientific discovery and innovation

Our Research + Innovation efforts focus on addressing critical barriers and gaps, and creating new knowledge and enabling tools and technologies to accelerate the biomanufacturing of nutritious, tasty, affordable, and accessible sustainable proteins that can benefit both society and the planet.

Our projects span plant-based, cell-cultivated, and fermentation-made protein platforms, with an emphasis on cross-cutting challenges in sustainable protein materials, processes, and systems.
