Bioreactor scale-up engineering solutions for cultivated meat
To scale cultivated meat towards market readiness, standard 2D cultures or stirred flasks are not a viable option for large-scale growth and must be replaced by bioreactors capable of supporting high-density and large-volume cell cultures.
Cost-effective media development and optimisation for cultivated meat and seafood applications
Very few cell culture media formulations (including growth, maintenance, or differentiation growth factor cocktails) are publicly available for animal species and cell types relevant to cultivated meat.
Cell line repositories and standardised isolation and maintenance protocols
Currently, there appears to be little to no consensus at this stage in the cultivated meat field regarding which starter cell type is preferable. There is a need to improve our understanding of the relative advantages and disadvantages of different cell types for each species important for cultivated meat.
Microbial fermentation process optimisation for abundant target molecule production
The target molecule can be a protein, a lipid, a flavour compound, a fragrance, an enzyme, a growth factor, a pigment, or another class of molecule.
Biomaterials for scaffolding in cultivated meat
For cultivated meat to fully replicate the organoleptic and nutritional characteristics of conventional meat, advancements in scaffolding technology are essential.
