BIO Applauds Boulder County Decision
After much debate, Boulder County commissioners sided with science and voted to allow some biotech crops to be grown on county-owned land. Six farmers leasing the county land came forward in December 2008 seeking permission to plant herbicide tolerant sugarbeets. After more than two years of hearings, protests, studies, and debates, policy that includes a decision on GMOs was approved. “With our adoption of the Boulder County Cropland Policy on Dec. 20 we believe we Read More >
2011: A Pivotal Year for Biotechnology
Biotechnology continues to hold the greatest promise to address many of the most critical issues facing our world. Continued innovation will lead to breakthrough new and improved cures and treatments for patients living with debilitating diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, diabetes and Parkinson’s; enhanced agricultural products to feed a growing global population while protecting the environmental health of our planet; vaccines to protect against bioterrorism; and revolutionary biofuels. The ability of BIO members to continue Read More >
Continued progress in advanced biofuels relies on the RFS
There is widespread agreement among experts, policy makers and the public that the United States must overcome its addiction to fossil fuels to protect the environment and for reasons of national security. As in any addiction, interventions are necessary to break bad habits. Fortunately, in 2007 Congress expanded the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), requiring increased production and use of renewable fuels from multiple sources. American companies are making steady progress in creating advanced plant-based fuels. Read More >
Raising the Stakes in Biotech
Small biotech companies continue to struggle to obtain funding as capital markets remain tight. The S&P downgrade may create even tighter credit markets and raise the cost of available credit, for small and large companies. To the extent that the downgrade leads capital flows out of the U.S., that hurts biotech. Biotech’s contributions to the world are critically needed. Our industry holds great promise for curing and treating many prevalent diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, cancer, Read More >
How we are advancing American innovation to cure disease and save lives
Mankind’s need to cure disease, combat hunger and discover new forms of energy has never been more urgent. Yet despite the extraordinary hope offered by biotechnology to solve these problems, government policies and the capital formation environment necessary to support these goals are insufficiently conducive to allowing us to meet these critical challenges. During our 2011 BIO International Convention, we unveiled a strategic initiative to speed scientific breakthroughs, develop cures and grow the bio-economy. The Read More >
