regenerative medicine
LGC supports BSI’s role in developing standards for
regenerative medicine.
Dr Julian Braybrook, Head of Measurement R&D at LGC, has
been appointed chair of BSI British Standards’ newly established
RGM/1 (Regenerative Medicine) committee, set up in response to
rapid growth in the area of regenerative medicine.
Commenting on his role in the new committee, Julian said: “I
am delighted to be working with BSI British Standards and with a
committee which captures such wide expertise and knowledge to
ensure that the UK is at the forefront of progress in regenerative
medicine. The next few years promise exciting developments in this
field and standardisation will play a vital role. My involvement
demonstrates LGC’s ongoing commitment to helping organisations
address key issues in translating new technologies to the
marketplace.”
The remit of the new committee will be to:
- Ensure the UK view is given due consideration within the
European Union, and European and International standardisation
organisations
- Develop and support formal standards and other standardisation
documents in the area of regenerative medicine and to promote their
use by industry and other potential users
- Ensure due consideration of the need for standards and
standardisation is given by UK regenerative networks and
organisations, and to coordinate activities and actions in this
area.
Mike Low, Director of BSI British Standards, said,
“Regenerative medicine is a rapidly expanding area and it is
vital that standards are put in place to facilitate developments in
research, manufacturing and implementation. BSI British Standards
will continue to develop standards in this field."

this committee. If you have expertise in the field of
