Shiok in Singapore English or Singlish means enjoyable and fantastic. Our mission is to bring delicious and healthy crustacean meat by harvesting from cells instead of animals. Our meats are animal-friendly, health-friendly and environment-friendly with the same taste, same texture, more nutrients and no cruelty.Shiok Meats, based strategically in Singapore catering to the Asia-Pacific market, is founded and run by Dr Sandhya Sriram (CEO) and Dr Ka Yi Ling (CSO) who have over 20+ years combined experience in the muscle, fat biology and stem cell biology fields. Sandhya also has previous startup experience and also in the business development of research products. SynopsisMost of the seafood consumed these days is reared in farms and contains harmful antibiotics, chemicals and hormones. Consumption of seafood also brings other consumer, health and environmental problems such as overfishing, effluent contamination and misrepresentation of seafood products. Shiok Meats is Singapore's first cell-based meat company that is working on growing shrimp meat in the lab using stem cells. These cell-based shrimps claim to have fewer toxins and is more environmentally friendly. In this compelling look at a company with aspirations to completely replace farmed and wild-caught shrimp, and disrupt the $40 billion global shrimp market, founder and CEO Dr Sandhya Sriram will talk about the research behind the business of creating seafood from cells.Updatestag:peatix.com,2019-08-02 09:33:592019-08-02 09:33:59The event description was updated.
