The Safety Assessed Media Ingredient (SAMI) List
SAMI aims to establish a list of commonly used media ingredients with safety assessments that will serve as a first-level screening for companies and regulatory reviewers.
Ongoing Projects
Methods Development for Measuring Growth Factors
This project aims to develop and validate analytical methods for reliably measuring growth factors that can be used to estimate exposure levels when consumed in cultured meat and seafood products.
Protein Thermostability Dataset
This project aims to create an open-source, curated dataset for growth factor thermostability, built with AI and machine learning applications in mind.
