4. Computer modeling applied to cultivated meat
In the broadest sense, the core technical development areas in cultivated meat R&D and commercialization, as defined in the CMMC June meeting, can be grouped as basic science, process challenges and product challenges. Herein, we define important data-based prerequisites that are generally required to implement computer modeling approaches and then we briefly explore several projects in some of the core technical development areas where computer modeling techniques may be applied. To explore these projects, we start by identifying the problem and/or optimization objective, describe the problem’s relevance to the cultivated meat field, and then demonstrate how computational modeling may be used to address these challenges.
