08:00 - 10:00
Molecular Biology with focus on Cellular Agriculture
Dra. Gloria Regina Franco - UFMG
In this theoretical short course, we will cover molecular techniques, with a special focus on transcriptome analysis of cultured cells during muscle development and differentiation, as a prelude to the production of cultivated meat. We will explain how to isolate high-quality RNA for sequencing of mRNAs, lncRNAs, and miRNAs. We will discuss the applications of various strategies for short-read and long-read sequencing. Finally, we will explore the different types of analyses that can be performed using transcriptome sequencing data, with an emphasis on differentially expressed genes and transcripts.
Minicurso08:00 - 10:00
Just transitions in Cellular Agriculture
Dr. Rodrigo Morais - UFMG
This minicourse explores how cellular agriculture can support sustainable food system transformation while promoting socially just and inclusive outcomes. Topics include potential socioeconomic impacts, countries' strategic positioning, changes in global production chains, rural producers' resilience and transformative capacity, the role of public policies and governance, and consumer perceptions and adoption. The course provides critical insights into how transitions in cellular agriculture can be designed to distribute benefits more equitably and foster inclusive and resilient food futures.
Minicurso Cancelado08:00 - 10:00
Cell isolation and cultivation
Dra. Erika Jorge, Dra. Amanda Moreira e B.ª Ítallo Cecílio - UFMG
What are the important steps during cell isolation and culture? This theoretical-practical mini-course will introduce participants to the principles of primary cell cultures, focusing on methods of isolation of muscle satellite cells, how to purify and identify these cells, immortalization and market, as well as the differentiation process, highlighting the difficulties and important points to consider during each of these processes.
Minicurso10:00 - 12:00
Animal Ethics and hybrid products
Dra. Carla Maiolino Molento - UFPR
What do hybrid products mean, considering the expected benefits of alternative proteins? And how helpful can they be for animals? How we frame each answer may influence what decisions will be prioritized in the development of new food systems. Other issues may prove more influential, such as cost-benefit profile of final products and consumer preferences; however, it is relevant to reflect on what we want to support. Hybrid products are often presented as a bridge toward more sustainable foods. Can they also be a bridge toward greater justice for animals? Join the discussion and help shape a future with less animal suffering.
Minicurso10:00 - 12:30
Building Tissues in 3D: Scaffolds and Bioprinting for Cellular Agriculture
Dra. Luciana Andrade e Ms. Jorge Guadalupe - UFMG
How can we move from cells growing on flat plastic surfaces to structured, tissue-like systems? This theoretical-practical mini-course will introduce participants to the principles of 3D cell culture, covering topics like scaffold-based culture, biomaterial sourcing, production and selection, microcarrier systems, hydrogel-based platforms, and 3D bioprinting, highlighting how each approach can support cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and tissue organization.

IntervaloEncerramento das atividades do dia
Hoje ocorreu, nas proximidades do local do evento, um incidente que resultou em óbito. A Comissão Organizadora do II Cell Ag Brazil & III COAP lamenta profundamente essa perda e se solidariza com todas as pessoas afetadas.
Em sinal de respeito e luto, decidimos adiar as atividades de hoje. O evento será retomado amanhã, às 8h. Mais tarde, enviaremos um e-mail com as mudanças na programação.
Pedimos que cuidemos uns dos outros. Se alguém precisar de apoio ou de alguma informação, nossa equipe está à disposição.
