Rachael Floreani is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont, where she runs a research laboratory focused on designing materials and solutions for human and environmental health. Her research program traditionally revolves around sustainable biomaterial design and fabrication for medicine-based biotechnologies such as tissue engineering. Rachael and her team of scientists, engineers and technicians investigate the fundamental understanding and development of natural based-materials and the impact their physico-mechanical properties have on living systems. Specifically, Rachael’s team critically and logically examines the role biomaterials and physical environments play on cell behavior. More recently, her research has turned to cellular agriculture, and the use of biomaterials to grow meat for human consumption. In her talk, “Medicine to Meat,” Rachael will explore how biotechnology used in the medical fields can be leveraged for cultured meat fabrication, and to bring scientific and broader impact awareness to the consumer.
