Johannes le Coutre Biography

Johannes le Coutre is a food and health scientist at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, where he holds a full professorship and leads the university's food program. Le Coutre established the first academic laboratory in Australia dedicated to research in cellular agriculture. He holds a doctorate in biophysics, earned for research on the reaction mechanism of the light-driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin, during which he identified the role of protein-based proton conduction in hydrogen-bonded networks. Le Coutre continued his research at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at UCLA and later developed a research program on taste physiology at Nestlé in Switzerland.

Prior to joining the University of New South Wales, le Coutre spent 19 years at Nestlé, where he developed the company's taste physiology research program. He served as a senior research scientist and head of perception physiology at the Nestlé Research Center in Lausanne, before leading the Greater London Research Program, which managed scientific collaborations with Imperial College London. Le Coutre also served as secretary general for Nestlé's Scientific Advisory Board and coordinated the International Nutrition Symposium, an annual event focused on food and nutrition. His research contributed to technology developments commercialized in various markets and product categories. He is co-inventor on several patents and author of peer-reviewed scientific publications.

At the University of New South Wales, le Coutre's team focuses on cellular agriculture, producing food traditionally derived from animals without using animals, with the goal of developing alternative proteins to reduce environmental impact and enhance global food security. His research encompasses cell culture, media development, and bioreactor adaptation, and he collaborates with the food industry on research and development projects.

Le Coutre has been recognized for his work in innovative food sources and is a fellow of the International Academy of Food Science & Technology, the Royal Society of New South Wales, and Food Standards Australia New Zealand. He is the founding field chief editor for "Frontiers in Nutrition," an open access journal in the field, and serves as a fellow to the International Union of Food Science and Technology. Le Coutre has been featured in outlets including "Nature Outlook" and has spoken at events such as World Science Festival Brisbane and the University of New South Wales Centre for Ideas, addressing topics related to food security and sustainability.
