Cultured Meat And Future Food Podcast

In this Future Food Show episode, host Alex Shirazi interviews Aniekan Esenam of Hamilton. Aniekan shares his background in mathematics, AI, and bioprocessing, highlighting Hamilton’s role in cultivated meat and precision fermentation. He explains how Hamilton’s sensors monitor pH, oxygen, CO2, and cell density in bioreactors, optimizing production. They discuss single-use vs. reusable systems, AI’s role in bioprocessing, and the future of novel foods. Aniekan envisions a future where 60% of meat comes from novel sources by 2040.

On this episode Alex Shirazi discusses the state of growth within the Cultivated Meat and Seafood industry, how to get to Factory #1, and the current state of the investment cycle in novel protein. Learn more about this episode at https://futurefoodshow.com

In this episode of the Cultured Meat and Future Food Show, host Alex Shirazi interviews Parendi Birdie, an entrepreneur and leader in the alternative protein industry. Parendi shares her extensive background, including how she transitioned from running her family's Montessori business to becoming a key figure in the cultivated meat space. She discusses her journey in building startups like Good Meat and Mission Barns, her role in advancing the field of cultivated meat, and the challenges and opportunities within the industry.

Sissel Beate Rønning is a senior scientist at the food research institute Nofima in Norway, where she tries to use modern technology in food production for a growing population. Her primary focus is: Can we culture meat, and can we use the rest of the materials from the food industry in the process? How can we produce healthy food ingredients? Sissel holds a master’s degree in gene technology from the University of Tromsø and has a PhD in GMOs from the National Veterinary Institute in Norway. Her postdoc focused on cancer research and human medicine in the Department of Pathology, Oslo University Hospital, Norway. Learn more about ISCCM10 at www.culturedmeatconference.com

Ali Khademhosseini is one of the foremost tissue engineers in the world. Khademhosseini is the founding director at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation, out of which Omeat was born. After learning about the environmental impacts of the conventional meat industry, Ali realized that his extensive background in tissue engineering could be applied to develop a process for more sustainably produced cultivated meat. Khademhosseini pivoted his focus to enter the field, developing Omeat’s unique cultivation process poised to redefine the industry. The company has developed a highly differentiated, IP-backed approach that enables the cultivation of any kind of meat in a way that is orders-of-magnitude more sustainable and humane than the conventional approach. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/futurefoodshow/support
