David Willer is building and supervising a research team at the University of Cambridge focussed on innovation in underexploited and high potential fish and seafood sectors to benefit human health and environmental sustainability as well as thought leadership to guide policy.

A key component of work is the development of novel ‘breakthrough’ aquaculture production systems.

David also looks at mechanisms that could be used to drive demand of sustainable nutritious fish and seafood in place of other meat and fish products.

Work on thought leading policy related projects aims to improve the global sustainability and performance of fishery and aquaculture food systems.

David leads interdisciplinary and collaborative projects spanning numerous academic disciplines and institutions, industries, and regulatory bodies.

Consultancy for leading companies in the food sector aims to drive greater sustainability. David is Founder of Naked Clam Ltd, speaks widely at international events and has an active media presence.

David held a Henslow Research Fellowship at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ. His background includes a PhD in Zoology and a first class degree in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University.
