Beyond the Bench: Shaping Biotech Policy to Enable Innovation

The Internet, GPS, touchscreens: America’s national security efforts are often a catalyst for major innovations. Experts from the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology will explore biotechnology’s potential to enhance society when private industry and government collaborate.

The panel will draw from their insights as entrepreneurs, innovators, academic mentors, scientists, and engineers to explore their goals as individuals and as Commissioners for scaling bio-industries, focusing on U.S. readiness to legislatively adapt to and benefit from emerging biotechnologies.

Framed as a dialogue this session is a chance to experience progress in the making.
