Campden BRI and Cellular Agriculture receive funding for cultivated meat project

02 February 2024

Campden BRI and tissue engineering and bioreactor specialist, Cellular Agriculture have won Innovate UK funding for a project that aims to optimise, test and validate the scalability of hollow-fibre bioreactors to produce cultivated meat products.

The project aims to develop a hollow-fibre bioreactor system prototype demonstrator that will be optimised at Campden BRI's facilities.  Campden BRI will then collaborate with Cellular Agriculture to test production samples and develop food safety, quality, regulatory, economic and sustainability assessments.  The knowledge acquired during the project will also be used by Campden BRI in the form of e-learning courses and supporting services.
 
Commenting on the funding, Illtud Dunsford, CEO of Cellular Agriculture said: “Cultivated meat production represents an opportunity to provide a complementary system to traditional farming methods. With the Earth’s resources limited, a holistic approach is needed for the choice of methods to produce high quality protein to meet the growing demand of the global population. Cultivated meat offers an opportunity which utilises less land and water than traditional agricultural production.” 
 
Craig Leadley, Technology Fellow at Campden BRI added: “By supporting Cellular Agriculture in taking their cutting-edge cultivated meat production system from the biotechnology space into the food industry, this exciting project puts us at the forefront of innovative food research. The Innovate UK-funded project will enable us to support Cellular Agriculture to further develop and test their system so that they can commercialise their technology to food manufacturers and cultivated meat companies.”
