| Introduction | Communications and Networking Officer, ESRC Innogen Centre. Innogen is the ESRC Centre for Innovation in Genomics, an interdisciplinary research centre based at the University of Edinburgh and the Open University. The life sciences have the potential to transform health care and food production systems in developed and developing countries and to provide one of the main platforms of economic growth and global competitiveness in the 21st century. Rapid developments in life sciences also challenge our existing regulatory systems and raise new ethical and social issues. Innogen researchers investigate the evolution of the life sciences and their far-reaching social and economic implications. Innogen is part of the UK's ESRC Genomics Network. www.genomicsnetwork.ac.uk/innogen |
