The betterment of public health determines if advancements in biotechnology are needed

As science advances, it will either demonstrate and stand as a testament to how far we’ve progressed as a species or it will reveal how fast-tracked we are towards decline. A major aspect of scientific improvement often overlooked is that science is ultimately here for the purpose of advancing humanity. That’s pretty much it.

Not just pockets of it, not just for those more privileged or visible, but all facets of it.

With growth comes a daily push to innovate, develop, scale, and sell across all areas of the life sciences, medical, biotech, and BioPharma sectors. To say it can be easy to forget what the core goal of science is all about is an understatement but that doesn’t change the fact that it is and should continue to be improving the human condition. The more I learn and grow in this industry the more I believe this is the soul behind scientific innovations causing positive but necessary rifts towards growth.

Today, the world of research is beginning to square face-to-face with some of the most complex and trying times in recent history. For those of you knee-deep in the lab, in regulatory strategic meetings, on manufacturing floors, in field service roles, in data analysis trenches, and other areas (too many to list) just know and please realize that the work you do matters. It matters deeply.

If your foundation, your focus is rooted in the belief that every person deserves access to better health, more effective treatments, cures even, and a higher quality of life; regardless of gender, nationality, socioeconomic status, background, or the social construct called race, then you are doing the kind of work that will help ensure biotechnology remains relevant as we move forward.

Resilience has been the name of the game. It still is and it certainly will be moving forward.
