Roslin Technologies

Based outside Edinburgh, Roslin Technologies Limited is an ambitious food and agriculture technology company which creates disruptive biotechnologies to improve how proteins are made. Our core capabilities lie in developing and commercialising a suite of unique animal stem cells and resources for the nascent global cultivated meat industry. We were the first company to commercialise pluripotent stem cells which continually self-renew and are able differentiate into the fat and muscle tissue required in the cultivated meat industry. In addition, we are now focussing our R&D on addressing key challenges in the sector including production cost reduction and process scale-up. We have developed unique animal cells that work; our cells can self-renew forever and differentiate into any tissue, including muscle and fat. Our cells are favourable for cultivated meat production since they address consumer concerns, make meat more affordable, and simplify regulatory approvals. Besides cells for cultivated meat, we continue to look for other biotechnologies that help us make protein production more sustainable.
