UK biotech sector gets to work on manifesto for life sciences

Work to gather sector views for the development of a Life Science Manifesto for the 2015-20 Parliament is well underway as part of the collaboration bringing together the UK’s BioIndustry Association (BIA), Bionow, BioPartner UK and One Nucleus.

The Life Science manifesto 2015-20 project will seek views from companies and organizations from across the UK to develop the key sector asks and needs for the next Parliament.
