Mycelial fermentation specialist MycoTechnology has appointed Ranjan Patnaik as its new chief technology officer.
The newly created role will strategically align R&D, food science and technical services teams under a single leader, the company said, as it prepares for its next stage of growth.
Patnaik brings over 25 years of experience in the fields of fermentation, strain engineering and bioprocess product development. Prior to joining MycoTechnology he was CTO at Every, where he led a 50-strong team to pioneer the manufacturing of egg proteins using precision fermentation.
Commenting on his appointment, he said: “I’m thrilled to be taking up this new role with MycoTechnology at such an important and exciting stage of its journey. The potential for mycelial fermentation in food and beverage applications is huge and remains largely untapped.”
Patnaik added: “MycoTechnology’s fermentation platform is based on highly sophisticated science and technology know-how and intellectual property assets, putting the company many steps ahead of others in this space and on a clear path to success”.
