Speaker
Aryé co-founded Wildtype, a company creating a clean, accessible seafood future using cellular agriculture technologies. Wildtype has developed brewery-like systems to grow seafood directly from cells, without the need for fishing or farming. After regulatory clearance in the US, Wildtype became the first company in the world to commercialize a cultivated seafood, starting with salmon. Aryé earned his MD and PhD at Dartmouth and Kyoto University; he completed clinical training in Internal Medicine and Cardiology at Yale. Prior to co-founding Wildtype, Aryé completed a fellowship in cardiovascular regenerative medicine at The Gladstone Institutes / UCSF. A classically-trained cardiologist and musician, Aryé often spends nights practicing in the ICU and piano room.
