A large proportion of biotechnology investment in the UK is in future healthcare and biopharmaceutical breakthroughs, making this sector a leader in Europe. But the field stretches much more widely than this, with vital laboratory and field work happening across bio-based material science, future food security, biodiversity protection, genome editing, disease forecasting, and freeing the world from petrochemicals. Giving new value to industry by-products is a fast-growing sector, while the employment of robotic systems and the application of AI models to understand complete biological context are resulting in faster research outcomes for a better future.
