Engineering biology

Inquiry

The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee is conducting an inquiry into engineering biology. The committee will explore engineering biology’s potential, particularly in delivering UK economic growth through commercialisation and for improvements to public services; which areas of engineering biology the UK is well placed to exploit and where additional support may be needed; and the ethical, regulatory and safety implications of rapid developments in the field. The committee has issued a call for written evidence and will be taking oral evidence from April 2024.
