SUMMARY:Special Guest Seminar: Dr. Shlomit David
DESCRIPTION:Next-Generation Foods: Engineering Optimized\, Enhanced\, and P
 ersonalized Foods through Cellular Agriculture\n ** Lecture will be given
  in English**\nAbstract:\n\nCellular agriculture is an emerging discipline
  that uses cell culture technologies to produce foods traditionally derive
 d from animals or crops\, offering a sustainable and ethical alternative t
 o conventional agriculture. Beyond reducing environmental impact and impro
 ving food security\, cultivated foods enable precise control over composit
 ion\, structure\, and nutritional value\, allowing the development of food
 s that can surpass their conventional counterparts.\nThis seminar presents
  research directions demonstrating the potential of cultivated foods. Firs
 t\, I will describe our work on the development of cultivated foie gras us
 ing edible\, plant-based 3D scaffolds that support the growth and lipid ac
 cumulation of chicken hepatocytes. In this system\, pea-protein scaffolds 
 promoted significantly greater triglyceride deposition\, and yielded fatty
  acid profiles closely resembling traditional duck foie gras. Strategies t
 o enrich the tissues with essential ω-3 fatty acids further demonstrated 
 how cellular agriculture can enable the production of foods with enhanced 
 nutritional value. Next\, I will discuss our efforts to engineer cultivate
 d meat tissues with elevated antioxidant content to improve stability\, qu
 ality\, and potential health benefits for consumers. Finally\, I will pres
 ent a novel human intestine organoid–based model that enables the evalua
 tion of food absorption.\nTogether\, these studies highlight the potential
  of cellular agriculture to advance high-quality\, nutritionally optimized
 \, sustainable foods\, paving the way for personalized next-generation foo
 d systems.
