Industry Consortium

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. 

So far, we have: 

• Published 3 peer-reviewed publications (with 8 in progress)
• Filed 1 ingredient patent (with 2 more in pre-filling)
• Generated dozens of novel physical materials and 5+ fundamental insights
• Created 4 computational tools
