Pleased to see our engineering biology report covered by @BBCPallab. If we get this right, this technology can provide great opportunities for the UK economy and public services, but that needs investment and action. Report: publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld5901/ldse… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Today, the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee has published its report into engineering biology, entitled: “Don’t fail to scale: seizing the opportunity of engineering biology”. Read it here: publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld5901/ldse… and watch our Chair discuss 1/

Following yesterday's report from @LordsSTCom, this in-depth article from @BBCPallab showcases the vast potential, and industrial applications, of #engineeringbiology, and the critical challenges facing the sector. @cgrandellis bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… #synbio #biotech

Do you have experience delivering impactful communications in an #academic, public sector, or #thirdsector organisation? Join the Earlham Institute as our new Head of Communications, as part of a busy and multidisciplinary team. okt.to/yMK41P

As part of the Committee's inquiry, @cgrandellis, Manager of the Earlham #Biofoundry, gave evidence demonstrating the challenges facing the #engineeringbiology sector, and the role of the UK's biofoundries in realising its potential. earlham.ac.uk/articles/reali…

💬 "We urge Ministers to heed the Committee’s suggestions on the need for longer-term funding, measures for talent recruitment and skills development, and implementation of new market-enabling regulation to unlock investment."

The @LordsSTCom has today released a report on #engineeringbiology, proposing a set of well-timed and robust recommendations on policies and investment needed by the UK’s #lifescience industry to deliver health, environmental, and economic benefits. committees.parliament.uk/committee/193/…
