(Washington, DC) The DC-based Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) has named Republican Congressman James C. Greenwood of Pennsylvania's 8th District as its next President. Greenwood made the announcement of his retirement from Congress when he disclosed that he will become the next BIO President on January 5, 2005.
"I do not believe I would have considered taking such a position with any other trade association. But in my work in health care and particularly with regard to the issues of stem cell research and somatic cell nuclear transfer, I have come to comprehend the enormity of the transformation in human health that is possible with the advancement of cellular therapy, the development of biological treatments and the use of the now decoded human genome," Greenwood said in his retirement statement. "After twenty-four years as a generalist, I now wish to begin a new chapter in my life in which I can become a specialist in a dramatically exciting and revolutionary field."
BIO was begun in 1993 as an industry group that represents more than 1,000 companies and academic and research centers that develop new products using biotechnology. The BIO Guide to Biotechnology provides industry and journalists with the latest information about the biotech industry. For more on BIO:
