We are an interdisciplinary center of excellence working to democratize the scientific building blocks of cultivated meat, build a pipeline of talent and expertise, and foster public trust in this novel technology. With 90+ members across five schools and eleven departments, the first undergraduate cellular agriculture degree in the world, and a brand new commercialization lab, TUCCA convenes the broader Tufts ecosystem to create an engine of innovation at the intersection of science, engineering, and food policy.
The USDA and Tufts University Center for Cellular Agriculture are developing a National Institute for Cellular Agriculture, to be housed at Tufts in partnership with seven other universities.
The Tufts Center for Cellular Agriculture is leading the effort to overcome fundamental technical challenges in the field, develop standards, and share knowledge.
