What is TUCCA?
The Tufts University Center for Cellular Agriculture (TUCCA) is dedicated to advancing cellular agriculture research and fostering industry growth. Collaborating with academic, industry, and regulatory partners, TUCCA focuses on innovative research in areas such as cell sourcing, media development, scaffolding, modeling, and scale-up processes. Our goal is to provide a strong scientific foundation, promote workforce development, and ensure the sustainability and safety of cell-based foods. Through peer-reviewed publications and interdisciplinary efforts, we aim to drive technological innovation and set quality standards within the field.
About Cellular Agriculture 🥩
Cellular Agriculture utilizes cutting-edge biotechnology to cultivate agricultural products directly from cells instead of relying on traditional farming methods. This innovative approach focuses on growing meat, dairy, and other animal-based products in a lab environment, significantly reducing the environmental impact and ethical concerns associated with conventional agriculture. As a rapidly evolving field, cellular agriculture holds the promise of revolutionizing how we produce food, paving the way for a more sustainable and humane future.
