NUS launches $39m alternative protein research hub

The centre aims to address global food security concerns.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) launched The Bezos Centre for Sustainable Protein to advance research in alternative proteins back wit a $39m (USD30m) grant from the Bezos Earth Fund.

The centre aims to "ultimate proteins" – advanced hybrid foods that match traditional meat-based products in both taste and price.

Other areas include microalgae research and cell-cultured and plant-based research. These focus areas will integrate platforms such as nutrition science, safety, and consumer acceptance into its research.

The research will be led by 23 Principal Investigators from institutions including NUS, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Institute of Technology, and ETH Zurich. 

"Asia is pivotal to the future of sustainable proteins, and Singapore is leading the way," said Andrew Steer, President and CEO of the Bezos Earth Fund. 

“The new Centre at NUS harnesses the region's influence and expertise to drive solutions that can reshape food systems globally, with significant potential impact for East and South-East Asia's 2.3 billion consumers,” he added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
