"President Joe Biden today will sign an executive order to bolster the bioengineering industry, creating an initiative that will support both his Cancer Moonshot initiative to reduce mortality and the administration’s goal to tackle climate change.
Biden believes that boosting biotechnology and bioengineering can aid in his efforts to “end cancer as we know it” as well as address global warming, according to two senior White House officials.
“The power of biotechnology extends far beyond health care,” one official, who was not authorized to speak publicly as a matter of practice, said on a call with reporters Sunday evening. “It will enable us to reinvent America’s supply chains, transitioning away from chemicals that rely on oil towards cleaner, safer and more reliable alternatives that we make right here at home.”"
