MEET OUR TEAM

Jasmin Kern is a German-American citizen who grew up in Frankfurt, Germany and moved to Boston for her undergraduate studies at MIT. Through her love for food and fascination with chemistry, she switched her studies from physics to chemistry with a focus on Cellular Agriculture. In 2019, she co-founded EZHealth, a student organization focused on giving MIT students access to easy recipes, cooking classes, and skills to build balanced meals with limited  kitchen space and ingredients. In 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic she worked with four other MIT students to build Cell Ag @ MIT, a student organization working to provide educational, research, and professional development opportunities in the Cell Ag industry for students. Through Cell Ag @ MIT and connections to Sloan Food & Ag, she met students across the US interested in building a network for students interested in the Sustainable Food industry. This launched the ideation of Cultivate Tomorrow, the first US hackathon in the cellular agriculture space.In her professional career, she was Tender Food’s first hire and worked as an R&D intern for 9 months. Her experience at Tender Food substantiated and deepened her interest in the field. In the summer of 2021 she worked as a Materials & Texture R&D intern at Impossible Foods, and got to experience a food tech company at a much later stage of development. Her favorite thing about Cell Ag, is the innovative, dedicated, and welcoming people all working towards a shared mission. In her free-time she enjoys cooking with friends, writing, playing piano, and biking.
