CellZero
Environmentally and resource-friendly, healthy production of animal protein
Duration from 01.07.2022 - 30.06.2024, funded by the BMBF under the funding code (FKZ) 031B1259C.
After a successful one-year exploratory phase, a project for the feasibility phase was successfully acquired together with the Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN, consortium leader), Anhalt University of Applied Sciences (HSA) and the company PAN-Biotech GmbH as part of the funding measure 'New Products for the Bioeconomy' (IBÖM).
The CellZero project is researching innovative approaches that offer an environmentally and resource-friendly, healthy production of animal protein as an alternative to conventional meat production using farm animals. So-called cell-based meat can be obtained from animal precursor cells using biotechnological methods. The use of plasma technology aims to reduce biological contaminants and replace the use of e.g. antibiotics in the process. As part of the project, the INP is providing suitable plasma systems, investigating their effectiveness and optimizing their technical parameters.
