Cellular Agriculture and the Future of Meat with Dr. David Kaplan of Tufts University

Dr. David Kaplan tells us about his work in engineering meat analogs using an unlikely source: insect cell lines.

David Kaplan is the Stern Family Endowed Professor of Engineering at Tufts University and a Distinguished University Professor. He is Professor and Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering. His research focus is on biopolymer engineering to understand structure-function relationships for biomaterials, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. He is the editor-in-chief of ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering and he serves on many editorial boards and programs for journals and universities.
