Novel Farms careers

The appetite for meat obtained from industrial farming is declining, since evidence of factory farming’s negative effects on public health, animal welfare, and the environment — as well as its economic instability — is undeniable. Thus, there is an increasing urgency to develop the technologies required to produce meat from animal cell cultures instead of animal slaughter. To deliver a cell-based meat product to the dinner table that looks, feels, and tastes like a steak, scaffolding is needed. Current scaffolding approaches are not scalable, costly, and do not enable the co-culturing of fat and muscle cells necessary to achieve marbling throughout the cultured muscle.

Novel Farms, Inc. leverages synthetic biology to develop cruelty-free, low cost and functionalized 3D scaffolds for the production of structured cultured meats. Its technology will not only improve the stiffness and marbling of cultured meat but will also have the potential to reduce manufacturing costs. Novel Farms, Inc. aims to recreate the taste and texture of exquisite, marbled cultured meats and transform cell-based meat consumption into a sought-after culinary experience for the next generation of ethically-conscious eaters.
