Monash University has various cellular agriculture researchers working in the Australia Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI). They also collaborated with Noumi on research into the use of precision fermentation to produce lactoferrin.
UniSC is home to one of our fantastic past volunteers, Lisa, who is currently completing a PhD researching Crustacean Biotechnology and Cultivated Meat.
The University of Sydney is leading the Alternative Protein Cooperative Research Centre bid, which works with industry and research organisations to identify and support market-led opportunities for alternative protein development. Their researchers have been granted significant funding from the NSW government to support alternative protein production methods, including precision fermentation.
Professor Johannes les Coutre at UNSW has a broad research interest in cellular agriculture and the food industry. He also supervises research in cell culture, media development, and bioreactor adaptation.
We previously funded two students at the University of Melbourne as part of our Seed Grant Program. One of our wonderful ex-volunteers, Brodie Peace, is completing a PhD here in food chemistry, focussing on media optimisation.
UTS is home to the Biologics Innovation Facility, a bioprocessing teaching and training facility supported by the NSW Government and NCRIS. It has provided facilities to cellular agriculture companies.
QUT has established a Food Innovation Program, with a key focus on synthetic biology and precision fermentation. QUT is a co-investor in the Mackay Renewable Biocommodities pilot plant upgrade, and which will see the facility transformed into the nation's only PC2 precision fermentation facility. They are also a partner in Australia's Food & Beverage Accelerator.
UQ is the host of Australia's Food & Beverage Accelerator, a unique industry-government-university alliance with the aim of supporting the commercialisation of synthetic biology-derived food and ingredients
Professor Ian Paulsen of Macquarie University leads an Australian Research Council (ARC Centre of Excellence) in Synthetic Biology.
We are currently working with Deakin University researchers Gie Liem and Adam Cardilini on two consumer research projects on cultivated meat and precision fermentation. We also previously funded three undergraduate researchers as part of our Seed Grant Program.
We previously co-funded a Swinburne student as a part of our Seed Grant Program.
UoW is home to Professor Markus Wagner, Professor of International and Comparative Law with a special research interest in the trade of cellular agriculture products. CAA is currently working with Markus to explore the intersection of trade, labelling and international law in the context of cellular agriculture products.
