The BIA aims to drive the political and news agenda on bioscience. Equally, we strive to keep members informed of current political debate and news reporting because of the relevance to their business interests.
Our weekly email newsletter NewsCAST and our rapid response mechanisms ensure members are kept up to speed with breaking news.

Lobbying on regulatory issues, both in the UK and EU, is a major focus for the BIA. Legislative and regulatory proposals such as the Clinical Trials Directive, the Tissues and Cells Directive and the Human Tissue Act all potentially have a major impact on BIA member companies. We issue a Regulatory Briefing update to brief members on the latest legislative and policy developments.

Our e-mail newsletter is complemented by publications which reinforce best practice, protect intellectual property rights and meet specific business needs. Special publications such as the Bioscience Innovation and Growth Team Report and Code of Best Practice set out what is needed to develop the sector and reinforce commitment to attaining the highest standards of operation.
