PhRMA issued a statement today that supports President Obama's intent to invest in biomedical research delivered in last night's State of the Union address. In part the PhRMA statement read:
"...The President recognized this crucial point tonight, as he stressed the need for investments in biomedical research. The good news is that this important research is already taking place -- with more than $65 billion invested in R&D by the biopharmaceutical industry in 2009 alone. There is no doubt that innovation is a critical building block for growing the US economy. For this reason, it is important that the Administration and Congress view the biopharmaceutical research sector....as a national health and economic asset."
PhRMA went on to pledge its support in working with the Administration and members of Congress on solutions that would spur the US economy.
