This time we have Che Connon with us.
Che is leading on bio-based solutions for industrial tissue engineering and animal alternatives in biotechnology.
He is the innovator that is trying to bring a new material in the fashion industry.
You may have seen him in the hype aroung Trex leather (a leather from Tirannosaurus Rex) and you may have thought, "is this real...?" 
Of course he cannot get back dinosourse but he is trying to use the same molecular structure to create a new type of material.
It is not to compalare or replace the commercial type of leather out there but he is still piloting a new way of having leather directly from a laboratory and without a real animal.
There may be several diverging opinion on this topic and this will help you how to better understand where this is coming from and where it can go.
