BIO President & CEO John F. Crowley released the following statement:
“A healthy and prosperous society is vitally important to the American people and to the world. The public health, economic security and our national security are best served by strong leadership that respects and advances science, nutrition and medicine and ensures that the United States and our allies continue to lead the world in biotechnology. Indeed, the rich tradition of ‘gold-standard scientific research’ and ‘evidence-based science’ have always been at the core of our life-saving work to prevent, control and cure disease—and to provide access to healthy food security for all. This is the mission of America’s biotechnology companies. I have every confidence that we will continue to thrive and deliver on this important mission ahead. The world cannot wait. We look forward to working closely with President-elect Trump, his incoming Administration, and members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to achieve these mutual goals.”
