Irish DNA Biotech Company Opens Lab in Kansas
A Trinity College Dublin campus biotech company chaired by the Irish Government’s science advisor Patrick Cunningham has established a state-of-the-art lab in Kansas. Silicon Republic has the story.
Kansas is a business-friendly state with more than US$9bn in annual agricultural sales. We also are a leader in red meat production so we believe it was a natural choice for IdentiGEN to locate its North American laboratories here
We’re talking IdentiGEN again. Irish KC first covered this IdentiGEN story last summer.
According to the Lawrence Journal-World:
The Ireland-based company that tests cattle, hogs and meat products with its own proprietary DNA-mapping system — the same technology used to spring unjustly convicted killers from death row and lend plot lines to TV crime dramas — has plans to have 200 to 300 people working in Kansas during the next two or three years.
And they’re set to be based out of 4824 Quail Crest Place or somewhere else in Lawrence.
But tell me, what is an “unjustly convicted killer”?
