The Engineering Biology Advisory Committee (EBAC) is composed of industry experts in engineering/synthetic biology and provides a forum for BIA members to discuss and keep abreast of the key issues associated with the rapidly increasing pace with which we can engineer biology.

2018 priorities

Connect:

  • Bring the UK engineering biology sector together and continue to showcase its strengths, within BIA membership and externally, including through BIA events, EBAC engagement at SynBioBeta, iGEM and other conferences.

  • Attract new committee members by promoting the breadth and relevance of the sector.

Inform/Support:

  • Input into relevant policy and public affairs activities via the BIA, including engagement on the implementation of the Life Sciences Industrial Strategy, other relevant Industrial Strategies, the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, and BIA Nagoya Cross-Committee Working Group.

Expert advice:

  • Increase investor awareness of and engagement with UK engineering biology, e.g. at meetings around BIA’s CEO and Investor Forum, conferences about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and similar events.

Committee Chair: Tim Fell, CEO, Synthace
