Embedding responsible innovation within synthetic biology research and innovation: insights from a UK multi-disciplinary research centre

Over the last decade the discourse of responsible innovation (RI) has become a significant feature of debates concerning the relationships between science, innovation and society in the fields of biosciences and biotechnologies. We document how this discourse has evolved over the period 2014–2019 at a Synthetic Biology Research Centre hosted within a University in the UK (BrisSynBio).
