Tufts University Center for Cellular Agriculture (TUCCA)

We leverage world-renowned expertise in tissue engineering, synthetic biology, and food science to reinvent how animal products are produced. Working at the intersection of academia and industry, TUCCA democratizes the scientific building blocks necessary to build a world where everything from meat to milk to leather can be grown from cells instead of animals. Tufts Cell Ag consists of our: • Flagship academic program (which graduated among the first cell ag PhDs in the world) • USDA-funded national institute for cell ag • Industry consortium • Commercialization lab
