Profound Brexit implications for the UK’s Life Science industry

Embed from Getty Images Last week I was hoping to hear Liam Fox speak on ‘Maintaining the UK life sciences’ leading position’ at a Royal Society of Medicine symposium ‘Brexit; the Implications for the UK’s Life Science Industry’. He cancelled (what an (un)surprise). The implications for academia, industry and the NHS are profound. Already universities, […]
