The Kaplan Lab is incredibly proud to celebrate postdoctoral researcher Dr. Camilo Riquelme-Guzmán for receiving the prestigious “Dr. Humberto Maturana Romesín” prize for early career researchers. Awarded by the Chilean Society for Biology at their annual meeting in Valparaíso, this honor recognizes Camilo’s outstanding contributions to biological research. During the event, Camilo joined fellow awardees Diyanira Castillo Novales, Simón P. Castillo, and Korina Ocampo-Zuleta to present their work and discuss the future of the field with distinguished leaders like Dr. Michael Seeger and Dr. Rosa Devés. Camilo expressed deep gratitude for the mentors and colleagues who have supported his scientific journey thus far.
In the Kaplan Lab, Camilo has played a vital role in advancing cellular agriculture through the development of new and better cell lines. His work includes a first author publication on unlocking the potential of cultivated meat through cell line engineering, which addresses key barriers to scaling ethical protein production. He also contributed to research regarding the modulation of nutritional composition and aroma volatiles in cultivated pork fat by adjusting culture media. These achievements highlight his dedication to creating sustainable and high quality food solutions that meet the nutritional needs of the future. We are grateful for his hard work and look forward to seeing his continued impact.
