Elliot is a lead scientist specializing in cultivated meat at The Good Food Institute (GFI), an international network of non-profit organizations developing the roadmap for a sustainable, secure, and just protein supply. His work at GFI focuses on analyzing the technical and economic bottlenecks facing the cultivated meat industry, identifying opportunities to accelerate the industry, and educating scientists, the public, and other industry stakeholders. Elliot holds a Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he worked with induced pluripotent stem cells to model neuromuscular disease.
