BIO will announce results of a public opinion research project conducted jointly by Republican and Democratic strategists. The project highlights insights from biotech executives against the public's perception of the industry and its potential to solve some of world's most pressing challenges, including:
The potential for biotherapies to alleviate and even cure devastating diseases such as Parkinson's, HIV/AIDS and multiple sclerosis;
The environmental and ethical implications of biofoods; and
The promise of biofuels, including ethanol, to alleviate dependence on fossil fuels.
The survey results presentation will be followed by a panel of leading biotech company CEOs. These leaders, along with BIO President and CEO Jim Greenwood, will respond to the surveys' findings.
A selection of biofoods will be served at the media brunch.
