The Trinity College Dublin Innovation Award for 2008 has been presented to the founders of IdentiGEN, Professor Patrick Cunningham, Dr Ronan Loftus and Ciaran Meghen. IdentiGEN resulted from research, led by Professor Cunningham and undertaken by Ciaran Meghen into the use of genetic technologies to confirm the safety and integrity of meat products. It became the first company to deliver and implement an operational and scaleable DNA traceability solution for 100% of the fresh beef distributed by a national food retailer and the first anywhere to leverage this technology into consumer markets.
