Why is Engineering Biology important?

We face an unprecedented number of challenges, many due to poorly designed systems and industries we have inherited from the past, that are not fit for a sustainable future. While new technology will not solve all of these problems alone, Engineering Biology offers one of the best opportunities to fix these challenges, while creating high value jobs in the UK.

Every day, scientists across the world are developing new technologies through synthetically engineering biology to improve our food systems, create new medicines, drive clean growth and reverse the damage we have done to the environment. We have used biology industrially for years so we know technologies are scalable, safe and easy to control.
