The Cambridge University Alt Protein Project
A student-led initiative to generate awareness and build a community around alternative proteins in Cambridge.
WHO WE ARE
The Cambridge University Alt Protein Project is a student-led organisation aiming to generate awareness and build a community around Alternative Proteins in Cambridge. It is our vision to transform Cambridge University into a hub for Alternative protein education, research, and innovation.
That’s what we do - we strive for a world in which proteins are made without animals.
WHAT WE DO
It is our mission to change our food system for the sake of human, animal, and planetary health by mobilising university resources—labs, programmes, pilot facilities, funding, and faculty interest—in service of a more sustainable protein supply. We promote engagement and research in the fields of plant-based meat and fermentation technologies as well as cellular agriculture. All of these technologies together will be needed to realise our goal of revolutionising the current food system.
We are closely working together with The Good Food Institute Europe to keep on growing the Alternative Protein ecosystem in Cambridge and beyond by hosting socials, talks, journal clubs and other events.
