About
Based in China and established in 2019, SiCell is a startup focused on developing sustainable and clean meat products using cell and tissue engineering technologies. The founder, Wu Jiajing, has an academic background in bioengineering and prior experience as a product manager in the food industry. The core team consists of researchers with postdoctoral, doctoral, or master's degrees, specializing in fields such as stem cell biology, synthetic biology, and biomaterials. SiCell's scientific advisory board includes experts from the national space science and space life science and biotechnology fields, providing theoretical and technical support.
In December 2019, the company closed a round of seed funding. SiCell is dedicated to the innovation of cell-cultured meat, aiming to produce meat that is nutritionally equivalent to traditional meat with a focus on environmental sustainability and food safety. The company is initially focusing on the cultivation of fat cells as a market entry point, considering the broad application of fat in animal products and the potential for cost efficiency through cell culture technology. SiCell's products are intended for applications in the food industry, specifically as an alternative to traditional meat products.
The company generates revenue by the sale of its cultured meat products once commercialized.
