Here's some seed for the thread, from Kamen, no less:
Dean Kamen Opens Organ-Building Institute
A crowd of about 300 gathered for the event at the Manchester Millyard, a picturesque row of refurbished mill buildings that also house several of Kamen’s companies—including Deka Research and Development, home to the Luke Arm; FIRST, a popular high school robotics competition; and BioFabUSA’s organizer, the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI). (Kamen is perhaps still best-known for his invention of the Segway motorized vehicle.)
In December 2016, the DoD awarded ARMI US $80 million over 5 years to scale-up manufacturing of human tissues and transplant organs, especially for injured soldiers and vets. Industry and university partners contributed an additional $214 million to the effort, and Kamen set up a headquarters for ARMI at the Millyard. BioFabUSA is the company’s first big effort. It’s designed to bring together companies, academics, and nonprofits to build and scale-up all the technologies needed to create human organ factories. In other words, “a machine shop of 21st century advanced biomanufacturing,” said ARMI chief regulatory officer Richard McFarland.
