<div><span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>About us:</strong></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12pt;">Based in Berkeley, CA, UPSIDE Foods grows meat, poultry, and seafood directly from real animal cells. These products are not vegan or vegetarian—they are delicious meat, made without the need to raise and slaughter billions of animals. In doing so, the company aims to address some of the most pressing environmental, animal welfare, and public health challenges, while still giving people the meat they love. </span></div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size:12pt;">Founded as the world’s first cultivated meat company in 2015, UPSIDE Foods (formerly Memphis Meats) has achieved numerous industry-defining milestones, including being the first company to produce multiple species of meat (beef, chicken, and duck) and to sell a cultivated meat product in the United States. The company believes that people shouldn’t have to choose between the foods they love and a thriving planet, and is working to build a better food system with access to delicious, humane, and sustainable meat, poultry, and seafood. </span></div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size:12pt;">UPSIDE Foods has won various industry awards, including New York Times’ Good Tech Awards, FastCo’s Next Big Thing in Tech and World Changing Ideas Awards, and the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation by the National Association for Business Resources. UPSIDE Foods has raised a total of $608 million, including from the Abu Dhabi Growth Fund (ADG), Baillie Gifford, Bill Gates, Cargill, John Doerr, John Mackey, Kimbal and Christiana Musk, Norwest, Richard Branson, Softbank, Temasek, Threshold, Tyson Foods, and others.</span></div><div> </div><div style="line-height:1.4;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>About this job:</strong></span></div><div style="line-height:1.4;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">The Senior Research Associate, Bioprocess Development will be responsible for running cell and tissue culture processes as a member of the Tissue Process Development sub-team to support the development and scale-up of novel platforms for meat cultivation.
