In-Vitro-Meat (see http://www.futurefood.org/in-vitro-meat/index_en.php ) has had some media-hype in the last months with the establishment of a scientific in-vitro-meat consortium (see http://www.invitromeat.org ). And the high-publicity story of animal-rights group PETA offering 1 Mio $ reward for the first scientist to bring in-vitro-meat to the market in the next years, was in the media all over the planet, e.g. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/21/us/21meat.html
If in-vitro-meat should turn out to be technically possible and economically competitive, an immense global market would open up.
Therefore you may be interested in contacting the in-vitro-meat-consortium for cooperation and funding.
What is your opinion? Is In-Vitro-Meat fiction or the meat of the future?
