Aleph Farms has collaborated with BioRaptor to streamline and optimise bioprocesses. BioRaptor’s AI operating system will work alongside human intelligence to collect and analyse large amounts of data generated throughout Aleph Farms' process development for cultivated meat production.
At Aleph Farms, the primary focus is on growing high-quality products from cattle-derived cells, which are the building blocks of beef. When grown in cultivators that provide controlled, clean, and closed environments, these cells become vital to growing Aleph Cuts, the first application of Aleph Farms' cell-cultivation platform.
According to Ori Zakin, CEO and Co-Founder of BioRaptor, massive amounts of data are created during the development of state-of-the-art production bioprocesses. Extracted, interpreted, and collected into actionable insights can boost productivity and reduce costs, time, and human error.
By integrating BioRaptor’s AI operating system into the process development, Aleph Farms' R&D team can collect data as it is generated across various experiments. This integration allows the team to evaluate cross-experimental findings smoothly and configure results on a single platform.
"Our team’s scientific expertise in design-of-experiment (DoE) methodology and statistical analysis, complemented by BioRaptor’s AI-driven solution, will allow us better to understand the interactions between various process inputs and conditions," said Dr Sagit Shalel-Levanon, Senior Director of Process Development at Aleph Farms.
“With the large data we generate, this capability could accelerate the development of robust and scalable processes for cultivated meat production."
Deploying BioRaptor’s most advanced AI and machine learning solution into Aleph’s R&D will provide additional support for the team to optimise processes for cost and scalability, laying a solid groundwork for its mid- to large-scale production.
