Biographical / Historical
This proposal was submitted to the Office of Science and Technology in November 1995 under the Technology Foresight Challenge award scheme. The proposal was in collaboration with the Moredun Institute and the universities of Edinburgh and Durham and in association with PPL, Imutran, Genus and the Pig Improvement Company. The project proposed to increase the efficiency of the nuclear transfer technique and establish procedures for gene targeting in sheep. The proposal was not invited to proceed to a full bid submission.
