Gourmey Partners With DeepLife to Optimize Cultivated Meat Production Using “Avian Digital Twin” Model

French cultivated meat producer Gourmey has partnered with AI-driven cellular digital twin technology specialist DeepLife to optimize cultivated meat production. Together, they have developed the world's first "avian digital twin" - a virtual replica of poultry cells to optimize growth conditions, nutrient density, and flavor expression in cultivated meat. This collaboration combines DeepLife's biology simulation engine with Gourmey's proprietary cell cultivation platform, aiming to achieve cost parity for cultivated meat by fine-tuning variables before conducting expensive wet lab experiments.

Focused initially on cultivated duck and poultry products, Gourmey's team is conducting virtual experiments to refine feed formulas and sensory attributes such as umami intensity and fat structure. The results will inform commercial-scale production and support Gourmey's regulatory filings, currently underway in Europe, the U.S., and Asia. By integrating DeepLife's digital twin technology, Gourmey accelerates R&D cycles, reduces reliance on costly trial-and-error, and sharpens their ability to optimize production economics at scale.
