For some time, I’ve been advising BIOMILQ, a U.S. biotech startup with an incredibly exciting technology. This week, they had a scientific breakthrough — they were able to cultivate something close to breastmilk in a bioreactor.

Much more work is needed, but I think this innovation might change the whole game.

I’m incredibly thrilled, and humbled, by the work of Michelle Egger and Leila Strickland, PhD, CMPP
