Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 December 2010

Advances in the life sciences are increasingly shaping our lives and the futures that we anticipate. But are we ready for a future where we can engineer biology to create novel living organisms and direct biological products to do jobs for us in smarter ways? Will personalised genomic medicine lead to inequities between those who can afford the new science and those who cannot? Should we look to the life sciences for environmentally friendly energy sources and new materials?
