We are thrilled to announce PPIC’s 6th Annual Research Spotlight Meeting on May 21-22, 2025. The meeting will showcase research that is actively being conducted in the plant proteins space, including the projects funded by PPIC. The meeting will be opened by keynote speaker, Dr. Milena Corredig, a professor in the food science-food technology department at Aarhus University in Denmark. In addition, there will be 12 other presentations from several researchers, internal and external to the PPIC researcher cohort. The presentations will cover areas of breeding, protein chemistry and functionality, processing, nutrition, fermentation and cell culture. A panel discussion involving PPIC's industry partners and supporters will discuss key research needs in the plant protein products category.
The event also includes an interactive poster session with the opportunity to speak with students and researchers directly. There will be a number of networking opportunities to connect with potential collaborators, customers, partners, and fellow plant protein aficionados. Several PPIC member companies will host booths to share their ingredients/products, technologies, and engineering capabilities with the attendees.
