Technological innovation in the life sciences and pharmaceutical sector plays a crucial role in the advancement of so many aspects of our daily lives. While human health and wellbeing immediately come to mind, ongoing technological innovation in the fields of agriculture (including animal husbandry and cropping) and food production is critical in meeting the food demands of the planet’s growing population and the challenge of changing environmental conditions. Less obvious applications of the life sciences in mining (e.g. mineral recovery and bioremediation), energy (e.g. biofuels) and space also have a significant role to play in how we live, including improving efficiencies and reducing the environmental impacts of these vital industries.
