DESCRIPTION:The cell-level control that is available to a cultured meat pr
 oduction system offers exciting possibilities for generating novel foods. 
 Specifically\, synthetic biology and metabolic engineering strategies allo
 w for the synthesis of non-native compounds de novo or the regulation of n
 ative metabolism or cell-signaling for bioprocess and compositional contro
 l. This tuning can manifest in novel food products with altered nutritiona
 l profiles\, modified food-functionality\, or tailored bioactivity. It can
  also offer significant effects on bioprocess parameters. We have recently
  demonstrated this possibility through the production of phytonutrients (c
 arotenoids) in bovine skeletal muscle cells\, the antioxidant capacity of 
 which are relevant to nutrition\, food-quality\, and cellular redox balanc
 e. This talk will discuss this work\, as well as other targets that could 
 prove valuable in the future.\n\nThis talk will be held online at http://m
