What Is Cultivated Meat and How Do You Grow Meat From Cells: Dr. Nicole Kleger, sallea

X-Health.show - meet the future of healthcare

Cultured meat or cultivated meat, made from cells, is not science-fiction any more.
It is pure science.
Though I could not help but thinking about Nancy Kress science-fiction book Beggars and Choosers when preparing to this episode. She writes about a world in 2106 where the society is split into a ruling class of Donkeys, who have access to real food, and Livers, who rely on government-provided cheap synthetic and soy-based food. It's just, the current reality of cell-grown meat already looks way more promising than the one in Kress's 1994 novel.
What if cultivated meat is healthier and tastes better than meat an animal meat?
Would you be tempted by a tasty steak grown in a lab?
In this episode, you’ll hear about

• what is cultivated meat?
• why it’s called lab meat and beer isn’t
• how meat is cultivated from cells
• does it taste like meat
• how healthy is it

and much more.
So today’s story isn’t about a medtech, biotech or digital health startup but it did begin with medtech in mind. And it is absolutely fascinating.
My guest, Dr. Nicole Kleger is the CEO of sallea. She began working on this project during her Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science and continued through her Master’s and Ph.D. She’s also a deidcated instructor of Bodypump, Bodyattack, and Bodybalance.
sallea is a Swiss startup, an ETH Zurich spin-off, developing edible scaffolds to grow cultivated meat. Their scaffolds, which enable cells to grow into meat, promise your taste buds real meat experience – without sacrificing animals.
