London Life Sciences Week kicked off last night with a buzzing reception at Somerset House and we’re looking forward to a jam-packed week of networking and events. Great to see the incredible hard work from the BIA and L&P teams come to life – shining a global light on the incredible UK ecosystem. At the same time, we’re seeing the UK take a leading role in pro-innovation regulation, from last week’s enactment of the Precision Breeding Act to Lawrence Tallon’s insights on the MHRA’s proportionate, strategic future approach, and now need the government to invest in the sector and ensure the commercial environment enables the UK to build on this world-beating foundation.

The Medical Research Council, Wellcome Trust, and Innovate UK have today announced a major new £15.9 million initiative to enable the development of advanced, specific and highly reproducible human-based in vitro models of disease, to make them widely available to researchers in academia and industry.
