Dwayne Holmes, PhD

With a background spanning the arts and sciences, Dwayne has long been fascinated by the intersection of science and culture. In 2010, during an MSc course involving stem cells, he recognised their potential for future food production. And in 2018, after earning a PhD for neuroscience related stem cell research, he debated starting his own cultured meat company or teaming up with one of the many others emerging at the time. The answer came in 2019 when he joined Mosa Meat, and headed their quality assurance and regulatory efforts for two years. Now at New Harvest, he hopes to broaden his efforts across the field, helping to ensure that cell ag technology reaches its full potential. In his spare time, Dwayne enjoys books, movies, and board games.
