Event Details
The rise in population, alongside the governmental Net Zero targets, will place considerable demands on existing food systems, requiring significant innovation in agriculture, manufacturing and waste management. Furthermore, producers, manufacturers and retailers face increased demands from consumers around the sustainability and environmental performance of the food on their plate.
The IBioIC conference fringe event will explore innovative responses to these challenges. The first part of the session will focus on alternative approaches to protein production. Following this will be an exploration of an innovative approach to the utilisation of waste and co-products for food and feed manufacture. Key stakeholders will deliver presentations on their contribution to a recent Zero Waste Scotland funded project to develop a novel cascade approach to whisky co-product valorisation. Who is this event for? Anyone interested in exploring the role that biotechnology has in future food systems. Guest speakers include:

Event Details
Since the start of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic there has been a growing emphasis on the provision of genomics data to manage disease outbreaks. This is reflected in the numbers of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences submitted to global databases. In future outbreaks of human and animal pathogens, as these technologies evolve and become more commonplace in both research and diagnostic settings, it is envisaged that genomics will play more prominent roles in both early identification and guiding outbreak governance. This 2-day meeting at Pirbright will focus on the application of genomics technologies in veterinary virology research (lab and in-silico based), but also facilitate networking and information exchange between both veterinary research and animal health diagnostics communities. It is this interface between both research and diagnostics that will contribute directly to the discussion surrounding the suitability and applications of these technologies for the early detection of future pandemics or zoonotic events.
