House of Commons investigate Bioengineering

A report by the Science and Technology Committee of the House of Commons published a report into Bioengineering. The report finds that the UK is struggling to translate its excellent research base in bioengineering into health and wealth despite the fact that economic recovery will depend, in part, on exploitation of the UK's research base.
Many world leaders in bioengineering gave evidence and contributions to the report. The potential of Synthetic Biology was highlighted by evidence from Professor Richard Kitney and Professor Paul Freemont, the co-directors of the Center of Synthetic Biology and Innovation at Imperial College London.
