About Olivia Calkins

Hello everyone! My name is Olivia Calkins and I am a sophomore at Tufts majoring in chemical engineering and minoring in biotechnology. My project is centered around Cellular Agriculture, a novel scientific field aiming to grow meat from cells in vitro. I will specifically be exploring the use of insect cells as a replacement for meat in pet food, and ensuring a completely nutritional profile can be achieved for felines! Outside of the lab, I love going on walks, cooking vegan food, and spending time with friends and family :)
