The Regulatory Horizons Council (RHC) is an independent expert committee that identifies the implications of technological innovation, and provides government with impartial, expert advice on the regulatory reform required to support its rapid and safe introduction.

This report makes recommendations on how the UK can support innovation in genetic technologies through regulatory and non-regulatory changes.

The report was originally published on 1 September 2021. It was updated in June 2022 to take account of recent developments in regulatory adaptation in the UK, and in response to comments on the previous version.

The policy brief summarises the analysis and recommendations from the Regulatory Horizons Council’s Report on Genetic Technologies Regulation.
