\\u201cI was doing really well in cardiology. I loved my role. I loved the work I was doing. I\'d say except for two or three people, everybody said, \\u2018this is crazy, why are you giving up a career that is on an upward trajectory and that you\'re doing really well in?\\u2019

The two or three people who heard me, they said, \\u2018Uma don\'t look back. If you have even a fraction of the impact of what you\'re thinking of having, that\'ll be a million-fold more impactful than what you could do as a cardiologist for the next 30 years in practice.\\u2019 Essentially, even if I had continued in practice for the next 30 years I would have probably saved about two or three thousand lives.

But if the innovation that we\'re working on becomes mainstream or even a fraction of mainstream, we\'re literally talking about trillions of animal lives, but also billions of human lives\\u2026\\u201d\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 - Uma Valeti

Uma Valeti is a cardiologist, entrepreneur, and the CEO and co-founder of Memphis Meats, the world\\u2019s leading clean meat company - meaning they produce meat directly from animal cells. There is no slaughter involved.

Uma\\u2019s mission is to feed the world\\u2019s growing population with meat that is delicious, affordable and sustainable. Memphis Meats has already pioneered the world\\u2019s first multi-species cell-based meat platform and made history by unveiling chicken, duck and beef grown directly from animal cells.

I think it\\u2019s the most exciting thing to happen on the planet in my lifetime.

Uma is quite possibly going to go down in history as the man who changed the way the world eats forever. As soon as cell-based meat is regulated, scaled, and available in restaurants and grocery stores (which is coming sooner than you think), the demand to slaughter of billions of animals year after year will diminish and at some point, it will be gone forever.
