About Life Sciences Scotland

Life Sciences Scotland is a unique concept

Life Sciences Scotland represents the entire life sciences community in Scotland, from industry and academia to healthcare and government.

Together, this community has developed a vision that by 2020 Scotland will have:

"A globally focused, sustainable life sciences sector built on a fully connected national strategy that exploits strengths in scientific excellence, financial services and innovative business models, and that develops, retains and builds upon Scotland's talents."

The Life Sciences Scotland identity exists to unify the community and to broadcast Scotland's depth of expertise in Life Sciences across the world.

In order to continue to develop and implement Scotland's national strategy, the Life Sciences Advisory Board has been created, consisting of senior executives from all sectors.

Life Sciences Advisory Board (LiSAB)

LiSAB is a joint industry, enterprise and government strategy team that plays a crucial role in ensuring Scotland has the best possible environment for fledgling technologies and established players alike. It fosters support and discussion between key players in the life sciences sector and those responsible for government policy-making at the very highest level.
