Overview
We know that the scientific research for cellular agriculture (cultivated meat & seafood, and precision fermentation) is often showcased at the industry level, with limited availability for students or members of the public. That's why we have gathered 10 experts in the field at SGInnovate, 32 Carpenter Street on 23 January 2025, 6PM-9PM (SGT) for a poster research showcase. Join us as they deep dive into their current research covering biosciences, regulations, and consumer perception. Get to know and network with the industry for your future.

Speakers
Speaker's Profile:
Akimi Goh & Meizi Tan, President & Vice President of APAC-SCA (Student Chapter), APAC-SCA (Student Chapter)
With GOODMeat3 being sold in the retail market, the APAC-SCA (Student Chapter) had engaged in a consumer survey on 14 October 2024 to assess respondents’ perceptions and acceptance of cultivated chicken. The aim is to understand future consumers’ attitudes toward cultivated food products, particularly on its potential as a sustainable protein source.
Speaker's Profile:
Dr Aimee Pink, Senior Scientist, Institute of Human Development and Potential, A*STAR
The alternative proteins virtual factory is an interactive education platform designed to teach children about alternative proteins to increase acceptance and consumption. By educating children, we empower them to be advocates of alternative proteins and this is vital considering they are our future consumers.
Speaker's Profile:
Lamony Chew, Senior Scientist, Singapore Institute of Food and Biotechnology Innovation, A*STAR
Cultivated meat industry faces several challenges associated with cost and sustainability due to the use of animal sera and growth factors. Our group has successfully replaced animal serum and insulin and enhanced the nutritional values and taste profile of cultivated fish adipocytes (fat cells), which would be important novel food ingredients.
Speaker's Profile:
Wang Hajie, PhD Candidate, Department of Food Science and Technology, National University of Singapore
This study develop computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling to simulate the hydrodynamics flow regimes inside different volume scale of bioreactors/spinner flasks for cultured meat production. The findings aims to identify the optimised operating conditions for cell proliferation & differentiation across different volume scale.
