Last week, the UK House of Lords Science and Technology Committee gathered insights from academics and industry leaders pivotal in driving the UK's #COVID-19 #vaccine rollout ⬇ 📌 Dr Alexander (Sandy) Douglas, 📌 Dr Adam Ritchie, Professor Cath Green OBE 📌 Dr James Miskin.  This included how to strengthen future #Pandemic 🦠 preparedness and enhance collaboration on scale-up and #Manufacturing between #Government🏛️, #Industry⚙️ and #Academia 🎓 🔬 Professor Green recalled how the BioIndustry Association (BIA) and its members responded swiftly to her "distress call" for manufacturing support following the successful phase 1 trial of the #OxfordVaccine 💉 💉Our industry survey and task force helped establish a crucial consortium of SMEs, kickstarting the rapid scaling of vaccine production and laying the groundwork for the Government Vaccines Taskforce (VTF) and collaboration with multinational pharmaceutical companies 👏 Dr Douglas – ‘To start with, we didn’t have connections … the actual discussion that made things happen was brokered by Ian McCubbin CBE and the BIA’s Vaccine manufacturing taskforce’ 🤝 ‘The UK is blessed to have a close-knit BIA network with individuals who care’ reflected Dr Miskin, who believed that having a group of like-minded individuals who got together early on was key to the success of the vaccine roll-out. The panel’s suggestions to ensure future preparedness ⬇ 🔺 A ‘Peacetime’ #VaccinesTaskforce to maintain technical capabilities for future crises. 🔺Supporting creative, innovative academic manufacturing and idea generation, both in universities and small #Biotech companies 🔺 Delivering on the UK’s 2023 Biological Security Strategy, and the appointment of a #Biosecurity minister 🔺Strengthening the #UK’s supply chain. We are proud of the role our members played during the COVID-19 pandemic and remain committed to driving innovation and collaboration to ensure the UK is prepared for any future pandemic challenges 👏 For more information please visit ➡ https://lnkd.in/e2Q-C2SQ #BIA #VaccineRollout #PandemicPreparedness #Biosecurity #UKInnovation #LifeSciences

🎉 We’re proud to support the new All-Party Parliamentary Group for 🌱#LifeSciences – this newly formed group has just called on the Chancellor to support the UK’s life sciences sector in the upcoming #Budget 💼 Following their inaugural meeting, the group emphasised the importance of protecting #Government funding and tax reliefs that drive 💰 #Investment in this vital industry. With Labour's plan, "A Prescription for Growth" and a draft Industrial Strategy on the table, there’s a strong push for policies that will foster #Innovation and bolster the UK’s position as a global leader in life sciences 🚀 The APPG is supported by eight life science organisations spanning industry, charities and a National Academy. In 2023 alone, medical research charities invested £1.7 billion in R&D, while the life sciences industry contributed over £9 billion—supporting countless jobs and advancements in healthcare 🏥 Kit Malthouse MP, chair of the #APPG, said: “The Life Sciences sector holds out an incredible promise that the UK can be at the forefront of humanity’s battle with disease and at the same time build a 21st-century knowledge-based economy. The All-Party Group embraces every aspect of this exciting sector and we hope it will play a part in maintaining the 📍#UK as a science superpower.” With our support, the APPG will continue to champion policies that enhance research and commercialisation for the benefit of #NHS patients and the UK economy 💡🔬 #LifeSciences #Budget2024 #Innovation #Healthcare #UKEconomy
