Our industry consortium, founded in 2022, leverages industry insights to build foundational science, transparency, and a talented workforce to advance cellular agriculture. Via an annual fee, members receive voting rights on consortium research priorities, pre-publication data, royalty free, non-exclusive IP licensing, and access to talent.
Please see this one-pager, deck and the bylaws for more information. To inquire about joining the consortium, you can reach out to matthew.mcnulty@tufts.edu.
