Description
Dr Jim Hague is a biophysicist at the OU working on the Open Societal Challenge: Modelling and Applications of Cultured Tissue, which means he is making models of cells and tissues to grow bigger p...ieces of cultured meat. The hope with cultured meat is to replace animals, so that we don’t have to grow and kill animals to get meat and so reduce the associated methane emissions and free up more space which could be used for crops. The OU’s Open Societal Challenges Programme aims to tackle some of the most important societal challenges of our time through impact-driven research. The Programme’s focus on the themes of Tackling Inequalities, Living Well and Sustainability aligns well with the OU’s mission to be open to people, places, methods and ideas. The Programme’s aim is to apply excellent research by OU academics to some of the most pressing challenges facing people across the UK and worldwide to transform lives and drive societal change.
