Atelier Meats, a lab-grown meat developer, has entered into a collaborative R&D agreement with Rutgers University to develop Atelier’s proprietary technology for cultivated meat production. 

The R&D collaboration will focus on isolating an extracellular matrix as the scaffold and populating it with cells to create cultivated meats. It will also focus on developing proprietary lines of bovine stem cells that can be culture expanded and differentiated. Further, Atelier will provide the required process engineering, scale-up, manufacturing, and regulatory support to commercialize the end product. The research will be led by principal investigators at the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Biomaterials Research and Chemical Biology at Rutgers.
