UC Davis has had many educational and research themes running over many decades. One of the older such themes is the brewing program within the Department of Food Science and Technology (FST). The brewing program has a reputation as a global leader with students coming from far and wide to understand the complex science behind one of the world’s oldest beverages. 

(Chris Simmons, Food Science and Technology Department Chair, is working with Integrative Center for Alternative Meat and Protein Director David Block to make sure that FST faculty are well-positioned to engage ICAMP resources for cultivated meat research and production.

From concept to container – food science students gave the UC Davis community a taste of their original food creations, including upcycled noodles and a savory vegan waffle.
