Joyce Tait, Innogen Founder and co-Director, has an interdisciplinary background in natural and social sciences including risk assessment and regulation, policy analysis, technology management, strategic and operational decision making in companies and public bodies. Tait speaks about re-engineering biological components through computational modelling and bio-systems design technologies and how they will require new frameworks for adaptive and responsible regulation that takes account of the relevant benefits and risks and also of the needs and wants of the full spectrum of stakeholders. It will be vital to achieve an equitable balance between promoting innovation and ensuring safety.
This talk will describe a systemic approach to risk management, uncertainty and stakeholder engagement to enable these design technologies to deliver their full potential to address today’s global challenges for human health and the future environment.
