NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, September 21, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- EpiBone CEO and Co-Founder Dr. Nina Tandon participated as a speaker at the White House Summit on Biotechnology & Biomanufacturing for the American Bioeconomy on September 14, 2022. The summit brought together government and private sector leaders as a first step in launching the Biden Administration's National Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative, a whole-government approach to advancing biotechnology and biomanufacturing to create innovation in health, climate change, energy, food security, agriculture, supply chain resilience, and national and economic security.

The half-day summit included a bioeconomy roundtable discussion with government officials and private sector leaders and two panels, one exploring biotechnology for global change and another discussing biomanufacturing and the bioeconomy. Tandon spoke during the morning roundtable discussion, sharing her perspectives on biotechnology, and its relevance as the future of medicine, as well as the pressing need for government support.

“I’m humbled to have had the opportunity to speak alongside my colleagues who are all industry luminaries as part of this critical White House Summit roundtable discussing industry advancements that will help move the entire field forward,” said Tandon. “Biotechnology holds immeasurable possibility to improve the quality and capacity of our lives, and this new White House initiative speaks to that possibility while positioning the US as a global leader in the industry.
