The new National Institute of Food and Agriculture wont fund it, the National Institutes of Health wont fund it, and the NASA funded it only briefly, Mironov said.
Its classic disruptive technology, Mironov said. Bringing any new technology on the market, on average, costs $1 billion. We dont even have $1 million.
Director of the Advanced Tissue Biofabrication Center in the Department of Regenerative Medicine and Cell Biology at the medical university, Mironov now primarily conducts research on tissue engineering, or growing, of human organs.
Theres an unpleasant factor when people find out meat is grown in a lab. They dont like to associate technology with food, said Nicholas Genovese, a visiting scholar in cancer cell biology.
But there are a lot of products that we eat today that are considered natural that are produced in a similar manner, Genovese said.
30. What does Dr. Mironov think of bioengineering cultured meat?
31. What does Dr. Mironov say about the funding for their research?
32. What does Nicholas Genovese say about a lot of products we eat today?
【点评】
本文为食品科技类题材。大意为生物工程技术应用在实验室生产肉,可改变传统肉类获得方式,解决将来的食物危机,不过还需资金支持,同时人们还难以完全接受这种方式。
