Yes, we're working on it. The diybio / hplusroadmap groups and I are
building a bioreactor (really a jar from your kitchen, among other
things) for tissue engineering and in vitro meat work. The big problem
at the moment seems to be figuring out how to do the chromatography
separation for protein purification, this is really more for making the
chemicals necessary to bootstrap the system again for, say, a friend.
The next step is going through my massive paper archive related to
tissue engineering and detailing, then reducing, the exact protocols
related to lab grown meat.

This is the "base system" from which other projects can easily, easily
be thrown on top of like simple modules. Yamanaka's induced pluripotent
stem cells, Doris Taylor's heart-in-a-jar, in vitro meat, ecoli farms,
organ farms, tissue banks, community DNA sequencing (Church's
polonator.org), etc.
