Life cycle inventories were developed for four recombinant growth factors (IGF-1, FGF, TGF-β, and PDGF) produced using a novel bench-scale process. The functional unit was selected as 1 mg of produced growth factor. The results indicate that recombinant growth factors can have significant environmental impacts within cultivated meat systems, despite being used in very small quantities.

Leading Innovation ++ on the Field ++ with a Purpose => I used AI in cultivated meat industry to optimize bioreactor design and to dramatically improve the efficiency and quality of production. I developed high quality 3D imagery process in a biotechnological startup to disrupt the drug discovery methods.
