6 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI

carnegiefoundation.org

JEFFERSONIAN UNIVERSITY MU’s founders established the first state university in Thomas Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase territory, sharing his ideal that “diffusion of knowledge among the people” is essential for a free society.

TWO UNIVERSITIES IN ONE Many states fund separate research and land-grant universities, but Missouri combines those roles at MU. • MU has a long history of solving problems

and improving lives as Missouri’s largest public research university.

• As a land-grant institution, Mizzou’s mission is to serve citizens and the public good statewide and around the world.

AMONG THE VERY BEST • Based on quality of teaching, research

and scholarship, MU is one of only 34 public U.S. universities — and one of only two Missouri institutions — selected for membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities. aau.edu

• The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education describes MU as a “Research University/Very High” and “community engaged.” carnegieclassifications.iu.edu

• The National Association of Land-Grant Universities designates MU as an “Innovation and Economic Prosperity University.” aplu.org

Mizzou is among the top 2 percent of U.S. universities. Institutions are organized by

their Carnegie Classification and counted only once.

HERE’S HOW ONE MIZZOU DISCOVERY TURNED INTO A COMMERCIAL PRODUCT:

Fu-Hung Hsieh, professor of biological engineering

and food science, notices that people are seeking healthier foods, including high-protein, vegetable-based options that resemble meat. But existing offerings lack meat’s taste, texture and consistency.

1. OBSERVATION

Hsieh and researcher Harold Huff develop a

specialized food processing method and determine the right combination of vegetarian ingredients. They create a soy-based food that has the texture and consistency of chicken.

3. TURNING POINT

With the help of MU’s Office of Technology

Management and Industry Relations, Hsieh and Huff’s innovation is licensed to Savage River Farms and commercialized as Beyond Meat™. The product is now on retail shelves.

4. PAYOFF

Hsieh has an idea for a process to create a soy-

based food that will appeal to consumers.

2. INNOVATION
