Natalie Rubio - New Harvest Fellowship Series

We're excited to announce the New Harvest Fellowship Series.

Established in 2004, New Harvest is the non-profit research institute building the field of cellular agriculture. We're partnering with New Harvest for a multi-part series on the Cultured Meat and Future Food Show.

We've had conversations with members of the New Harvest leadership previously on this show. Please see our episode with Executive Director Isha Datar and Research Director Dr. Kate Krueger.

On this episode, we are delighted to have Natalie Rubio, kicking off the New Harvest Fellowship Series.

Natalie is a Ph.D. student at Tufts University in the Biomedical Engineering Department. She works in Dr. David Kaplan's tissue engineering research group.

Her research is primarily focused on growing cultured meat from insect cells and developing edible scaffold systems.

Prior to graduate school, Natalie worked for New Harvest and Perfect Day Foods. Currently, she is a scientific advisor for two cellular agriculture start-up companies (Bond Pet Foods, Matrix Meats).
