We will use induced pluripotent stem cells derived from lamb as starting cells and formulate an animal-component-free media to support the proliferation and differentiation of iPSCs into muscle cells. A clinostat with an integrated environmental chamber will be developed to generate time-averaged simulated microgravity while maintaining suitable cell culture conditions. Microcarriers will be produced in a microfluidic particle generator to achieve size uniformity. RESEARCH APPROACH: We will grow cells on specialized microcarriers and expand them in a stirred bioreactor. OBJECTIVE: The primary goal of this multidisciplinary proposal is to develop a platform for growing cultured meat under simulated microgravity conditions. ![]() Nominated Principal Investigator: Akbari, Mohsen Nominated Principal Investigator Affiliation: University of Victoria Application Title: Cultivated meat production in zero gravity: Making burgers for astronauts Amount Awarded: $250,000 Co-Principal Investigator: Rossi, Fabio Co-Applicant: Shi, Yang Research summary By doing so, award recipients strengthen public understanding about and support for interdisciplinary, international, high-risk/high-reward and fast-breaking research.
