Guide of Life Sciences

From the world’s first vaccine to the human genome project, British scientists always stand in the forefront of shaping the modern medicine.
• Edward Jenner discovered the smallpox vaccine in 1798, and Alexander • Fleming discovered penicillin in 130 years, but British scientists have done pioneering work carried out life-saving two examples. • Francis Crick and James Watson at Cambridge University discovered • molecular structure of DNA, the researchers described as paving the way for the human genome.
Today, the United Kingdom continues to explore life sciences, and in many areas have been recognized as a global leader, including diabetes research, genetic and epidemiological cardiovascular, pediatric, obese gene and regenerative medicine. For example, a nanotechnology expert London hospital developed artificial arteries, is currently in clinical trials. If successful, this groundbreaking technology will reduce global heart attack risk tens of thousands of workers.
In Europe, the supply of all biotechnology products, nearly half of production in the UK, and in the world’s best-selling drugs, one of four from the UK. To learn how to become the world’s fastest-growing life sciences market, one, click here .

Leading innovation

Britain in the field of aerospace engineering has a long history of success – this from the British Royal Air Force officer • Frank Whittle invented the jet engine in the beginning. Britain’s many achievements are built on the basis of international cooperation. This includes the joint manufacture of the French Concorde aircraft (a supersonic jet) and with the Airbus civilian and defense projects for cooperation.
Today, Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines have become the UK the use of innovative projects to address the challenges of the 21st century model. World-class fuel efficiency, emissions of carbon dioxide makes the Trent 1000 engine than the previous generation by 20%; the same time, its design noise levels lower than similar products.
High-quality labor force and up to 27 million pounds per year R & D investment to Britain has brought benefits to the aviation industry. Virgin Galactic is the British pursuit of innovation and another example of international cooperation, the company will be the first to provide commercial passenger space flights of the company.

Global links

In 1990, the British computer scientist Tim Berners • Lee invented the World Wide Web • to lay the foundation for today’s Internet.
Today, Britain’s information and communications technology market has become most closely associated with the world and one of the most perfect market, technological innovation will be closely linked with the export business. British penetration of new technologies is very high – it has the largest broadband market, the Group of Seven, 87% of the households are watching digital TV.
Some of the country among the leading global media and telecommunications companies, including the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB), British Telecom (BT) and Vodafone Telecom (Vodafone), with strong demand for consumer electronic products market together with the driving force of innovation. Economist Intelligence Unit (Economist Intelligence Unit) that the UK is the most promising one of successful e-commerce, thanks to government and industry in information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure investment.
As the UK’s first to switch to a national IP (Internet Protocol)-based telephone switching network, the ICT infrastructure will be a major step forward to the future at any time. This development led by the direction of BT will create exciting opportunities for investors, while further consolidating Britain, as consumer and business products and services of the “test bed” status.
