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
