Fork The System Episode 5: Max Tham
Welcome to Fork The System — a podcast spotlighting the innovators, researchers, and advocacy leaders reimagining how we feed the world.
Our fifth guest is Max Tham, a current Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore. Max started his research journey working on anticancer agents, but now leads a research group investigating the molecular reactions of Heme, a molecule in animal meats that gives meat its distinct flavour. Max is now commercializing this research through the tHEMEat Company, a food tech start-up producing a Heme-based flavour catalyst called Veme to give alternative protein products the same smell and taste as meat.
