Cultivated Biosciences was born with the mission of improving the lives of all sentient beings: humans and animals, present and future. I want to always continue this mission and Founder's Pledge has created an amazing infrastructure to pursue it with the highest impact possible.
Tomas is a Material Engineer from the Swiss Institute of Technology (EPFL). He co-founded the local Effective Altruism student group, where encountered the concept of alternative proteins and directly recognized it could be part of the solution to answer the climate and health challenges we face.
After an internship at Planted Foods, he continued exploring his interest at EPFL. He conceived the idea of producing creamy fat using yeast. He is now developing this solution further at Cultivated Biosciences.
