About the Algae2Fish Project

In Algae2Fish we aim at developing in vitro cultured seabass fillets combining disruptive bioengineering and tissue engineering approaches to develop novel conductive edible scaffolds based on algae and plants

​

Algae2Fish is a project supported by the Good Food Institute (GFI) and we are hosted by the Instituto Superior Tecnico (IST) of Lisbon and the Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences (iBB)

Our objectives

Synthesise edible plant- and algae-based bioinks containing fish myoblasts and adipocytes for 3D bioprinting

Manufacture electrospun edible and conductive fibres to support fish myoblasts in combination with 3D printed structures

Develop different strategies for fish cell culture by investigating efficient differentiation protocols

Target features of our materials

Edible

Electroconductive

Compatible with 3D bioprinting and electrospinning

Capable of supporting fish cell growth
