TEAM
Our team is young, passionate, and well-equipped to take on the biggest challenges facing our food system because they are equipped with a passion for food science and a desire to build a better tomorrow. Our team understands that our current food system is unsustainable and that we must act quickly to make meaningful change. From reducing food waste and improving food safety to developing new plant-based food and creating more sustainable agricultural practices, we are excited to take on the main challenges of food science!
What sets our team of researchers apart is their creativity and interdisciplinary approach! We are breaking down traditional silos and collaborating across fields to find innovative solutions to complex problems. From microbiology to engineering, nutrition to data science, we are drawing on diverse areas of expertise to advance our understanding of food and how we can make it better.
Perhaps most importantly, this new generation of researchers in our team is motivated by a deep sense of purpose. They see food science as a way to make a positive impact on the world, to help feed a growing population, and to promote health and wellbeing. Our team is passionate about using our skills and knowledge to create a more just and sustainable food system for all.
With our creativity, interdisciplinary approach, and commitment to positive change, the young researchers of our team are poised to lead us into a brighter and more sustainable future. We can't wait to see what they will accomplish next!
