Over the years, Kaplan and his fellows have published research on cell-cultivated fat, the nutrition of cell-cultivated meat, and more. They impressed the United States Department of Agriculture, which gave Tufts a $10 million grant in 2021 to create the second, and largest, US government-backed research center for cell-cultivated meat: the USDA National Institute for Cellular Agriculture at Tufts. Since it opened, researchers and students have developed new fish cell lines, published research on novel ingredients to feed and grow cells, and begun looking at challenges related to scaling up cell-cultivated meat production.
