Genomics England Responds to Report from Life Sciences Sector
In response to a report by Sir John Bell to the UK government, Sir John Chisholm (pictured), Executive Chair of Genomics England said:
“Genomics England welcomes Sir John Bell’s report to government from the life sciences sector – recognising as it does the critical role that genomics will play in the future health, well-being and economic prosperity of this country.
The UK has been quick to act on the opportunities of genomics, with significant investment in the 100,000 Genomes Project – harnessing the world’s biggest integrated healthcare system to deliver the world’s largest national sequencing project. Today’s report gives us the blueprint to build on our global lead in genomic science to drive NHS transformation, improve health outcomes and realise material economic benefits for UK plc.”
