Maria Cho on Sustainably Addressing Food and Healthcare Insecurity

Triplebar CEO Maria Cho discusses using biotechnology to address food and drug supply issues.

Cho, who grew up fascinated by science, initially aspired to be a doctor. However, her experience as a medical assistant led her to focus on the drug creation process. She has since worked in various industries, including sales, research, and biopharmaceuticals.

At Triplebar, Cho leads a team dedicated to using technology to innovate food and pharma product discovery. They aim to develop products that meet global needs for healthy nutrition and disease treatment.

Cho and Ted Flanigan discuss how Triplebar’s technology is applied to areas like bioactives, functional food proteins, cultured meat, and novel biologics. Cho emphasizes the potential of bioengineering to solve current and future challenges, creating a more resilient and health-conscious global community.
