Our mission is to advance disruptive biotechnologies to improve protein production
The world is facing a protein deficit. We are overexploiting our natural environment and need to find alternative ways to produce proteins. Great progress is being made, but we need to go faster.
At Roslin Tech, we apply new biotechnologies to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable food system. We want to live in a world where everyone has access to affordable, nutritious, and responsibly produced protein.
Our core capability: cells for cultivated meat
Cultivated meat is real meat grown directly from cells, without the need to raise animals. This meat needs high quality cells.
We have developed unique animal cells that work; our cells can self-renew forever and differentiate into any tissue, including muscle and fat. Our cells are favourable for cultivated meat production since they address consumer concerns, make meat more affordable, and simplify regulatory approvals.
Besides cells for cultivated meat, we continue to look for other biotechnologies that help us make protein production more sustainable.
We work in partnerships
Collaboration goes to our core. We were formed in 2017 as a venture between the University of Edinburgh and two impact-focused investment partners. We have preferential access to intellectual property from the world-famous Roslin Institute, located in Edinburgh, Europe’s largest animal science hub. Together, we commercialise our knowhow and make protein production more sustainable.
