Ross Levine, Principal Investigator and Chief Scientific Officer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“We’re urging Governor Kathy Hochul to invest in biomedical research to protect and grow New York’s leadership in this critical area.
Biomedical research is essential to public health, economic growth and job creation. With new State investment, we can capitalize on opportunities to recruit scientists and life sciences companies, but without it, we risk losing ground to other states and countries. This investment will support research, jobs and new treatments and cures, all of which are at risk from changes in federal science policies and increased global competition.
That’s why we’ve joined a broad coalition of New York medical schools and leading research institutions in calling for action.
