"The big realisation for me working in life sciences is if we didn't have [this] industry, to translate this amazing science that comes out of academic institutions into usable products, then we wouldn't be able to benefit as individuals."

We join Chris Wigley and special guest Tamsin Berry in today's episode of, The G Word. Tamsin is Partner at Population Health Partners, and former Director of the UK government’s Office for Life Sciences.

They discuss the importance of Life Sciences and what it is, focusing on the impact this particular research has on individual lives. They discuss how Tamsin became a part of the life science world and her journey to becoming Director of the Office of Life Sciences. They also discuss the importance of research funding and genome understanding.
