SPECIAL SEMINAR ON NOV. 22, 2023
Influence of Microbial Intelligence on the Future of Bio-Manufacturing
CHBE and LFS Special Seminar Nov 22
Decades of research have finally led to manufacturing nature-identical animal and plant proteins, without any animal inputs, using precision fermentation. Precision fermentation uses glucose from plant sources and GRAS microflora that have been designed to produce alternate proteins. Precision fermentation science and other biotechnology-derived innovations are creating new categories of foods which offer a sustainable and nutritious way to feed our growing population. In this seminar, the presenter discusses how scientists can and need to unlock the full potential of synthetic biology and precision fermentation science by addressing multiple pain points simultaneously.
Presenter Dr. Sunil Sukumaran has been invited to this seminar that is jointly sponsored by the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (CHBE), and the Faculty of Land and Food Systems. Dr. Sukumaran is Chief Technology Officer at Perfect Day, Inc. a consumer biology company on a mission to create a kinder, greener tomorrow by developing new ways to make food—starting in the dairy aisle. Perfect Day, Inc. is a leading-edge food bio/technology company based in Berkeley, CA.
