Vision

The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council’s (BBSRC) vision is to harness the power of bioscience to deliver a healthy, sustainable and resilient future.

Our vision is one where the:

  • new discoveries we enable provide a strong platform from which better outcomes for society can be generated both now and in the future
  • technological advances that our community create are deployed effectively and with agility to deliver beneficial change
  • channels between discovery and its application are clear and unencumbered

As part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), BBSRC are the stewards and enablers of UK bioscience discovery and innovation.

At a time of unprecedented planetary challenge, we must work together in true partnership to achieve our vision. We must foster collaboration and connections across disciplines to accelerate progress to deliver research and innovation that makes a real and lasting difference.
