More About Professor Goldberg: Bob Goldberg is a plant molecular biologist who specializes in the area of plant genomics. The goal of his research has been to understand how plant cells differentiate and how genes are activated selectively in specialized cell types during plant development. Professor Goldberg's research has provided a conceptual foundation for the processes that regulate gene expression in higher plants. In collaboration with others, he utilized genes identified in his laboratory to develop a novel system to genetically engineer for male fertility control in crop plants. This system was used to develop new hybrid varieties of canola plants that have significantly increased yields of oil. His current research is using state-of-the-art genomics technologies to identify all of the genes required to make a seed. Professor Goldberg received a B.S. in Botany at Ohio University, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Plant Genetics from The University of Arizona. Professor Goldberg was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the California Institute of Technology and joined the UCLA faculty in 1976. Professor Goldberg served twice as Director of the Plant Genetics Program at the USDA, has been on the Editorial Boards of many internationally recognized journals such as Science, and was the Founding Editor and Editor-In-Chief of The Plant Cell, the leading journal in the area of plant molecular biology. He has been the organizer of many major international plant molecular biology meetings, is the Director of The Seed Institute - an intercampus institute without walls within the University of California dedicated to unraveling the processes that control seed development. Professor Goldberg has given hundreds of lectures on his research world-wide, and has received several awards recognizing his contributions to the field of plant molecular biology. These include election to the National Academy of Sciences, the National Order for Scientific Merit from the President of Brazil, being named as a UCLA Faculty Research Lecturer, and being listed as making one of the "top 15" Discoveries in UCLA's 75-year history. Professor Goldberg is highly committed to undergraduate and graduate education and is an "expert" in making science "come alive." Professor Goldberg has received Distinguished Teaching Awards from the Department of Biology and the Department of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology, and was awarded the Luckmann Distinguished Teaching Award from the Academic Senate. He has also been awarded the Gold Shield Prize for Excellence in Research and Undergraduate Education by the Academic Senate and was named as one of the "top 20" Professors in UCLA's 75-year history. Recently, Professor Goldberg was awarded a Howard Hughes Medical Institute University Professorship with the goal of expanding undergraduate opportunities in discovery-oriented research.

With flavors spanning from Lemon and Herb to Cajun, Daring’s meatless chicken is almost synonymous in flavor, taste, and texture with its real counterpart. Not only are they focused on perfecting the product itself, they are also working on being sustainable and supporting like-minded organizations, a goal that has even been supported by Drake! On our third episode of ‘The Dish on Biotech in Food’, we virtually sat down with Ross Mackay, the CEO and Founder, to learn more about his vision. A little bit more about Mackay: Ross Mackay is the founder and CEO of Daring, the leader in clean plant-based chicken. In 2018, Mackay set out to create a plant-based chicken that mimics the real thing – both in texture and taste. He knew if he could crack the code on a better-for-you plant-based chicken, he would positively impact both the planet and consumer wellness. He launched with Original Daring Pieces in the U.S in 2019, propelling the plant-based category by locking in nationwide retail partners, investors, DTC platform, giveback program, and future innovations – all in his first calendar year. In December 2020, he earned the Forbes 30-Under-30 designation within the Food & Drink category. Mackay, currently under-30 and a vegan athlete, grew up playing international tennis under mentorship from Judy Murray. His competitive background and devotion to a healthy active lifestyle propelled Mackay to start his entrepreneurial career at the age of 22. He uses his passion and experience in early-stage business formation and sales marketing to position Daring for significant growth.

By 2050, we will need to increase food production by about 60% to accommodate an ever growing population. The way we make and consume food now, however, is not conducive or a sustainable way to meet these needs.

Despite the popular trope that our furry friends only want to eat meat and chew on bones, dogs are actually omnivores meaning that their diet does not have to consist of only or mainly meat products. While doting owners want to feed their dogs the best food to keep their loving companions in tip-top shape, there are many times that a plant based dog food might be best for them. Plant based dog food? Where does one buy that? One California Startup, Wild Earth, is delivering it right to your door! Pitched on SharkTank, Wild Earth has developed a high protein, plant based dog food using Koji that will have any dog happily munching away. Not only is the food great for dogs, it is also a meat free alternative that relieves pressure on the environment too as dog food is a huge source of meat need and usage.

In Biotech, people are often on the hunt for more sustainable ways for humans to be energized in two major ways: through food and through power. This hunt takes scientists and creators all across the globe to examine where this next source lies. One search took scientists at Lyxia, a SoCal Biotech Company, to Shenzhen China where they discovered a common yet super special substance: microalgae. Microalgae are unicellular photosynthetic microorganisms, living in saline or freshwater environments, that convert sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to algal biomass. This ability makes them a key energy source in all ecosystems and an even better source of nutrients. At Lyxia, they are attempting to use microalgae to reach their goal: producing natural specialty ingredients with sun, seawater, CO2 and microalgae. Their first focus has been producing “...the essential nutrient, eicosapentaenoic acid, more commonly known as the Omega-3 EPA… We [Lyxia] have now launched a series of products based on pure, natural, vegetarian EPA that is sustainably produced from microalgae..."
How absolutely tasty is that!
We virtually sat down with Lyxia’s Former R&D Senior Process Designer Peter Mponzi to find out more about it on the last episode of our first series, Alternative Careers in Biotech.
