Biotech Britain: Realising the impossible

Biotechnology is the use of biological systems and living organisms, or their derivatives, to make or modify products or processes.

"This industry is about the very fabric of our democracy - how we talk to ourselves and how we talk to the world." The words of Tom McNally, leader of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords, in the NS roundtable discussion, accurately convey the importance of our constantly evolving broadcasting media.
