Creating a Protein Thermostability Dataset to Accelerate Cultured Meat and Seafood Development

January 2025 - August 2026

  • This project created an open-source, curated dataset that incorporates direct measurements of growth factor thermostability. This data can support regulatory review and future optimization of these media inputs.

  • The project aggregated protein thermostability data from the public domain and new in vitro and in silico data generation.

    Data was processed for compatibility with AI/ML workflows and released in an open-source format, facilitating field-wide data-sharing and providing a foundation for developing AI/ML models for growth factor thermostability to understand the safety of their use in the production of cultured meat.

  • A collaborative project between New Harvest, Vireo Advisors, the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute, and Defined Bioscience. Funding for this work is provided by Food System Innovations.

  • This work has been published in Data in Brief. Read the article.

    The data generated and compiled as part of this project is openly accessible on the Zenodo OpenCellAg Repository. Download the data.
