As a result of biomedical research the
prevention, early detection and treatment of
diseases such as cancer and heart disease is better
today than any other time in history.
Biomedical research provides the foundation for
new therapies and diagnostics to combat the
21st century threats our nation faces such as
bioterrorism, chronic disease, pandemic flu and
obesity. The Prix Galien is a welcome initiative
to stimulate creative research and promote
excellence. |  | From Senator John McCain
Rising health costs are taking a growing toll
on America’s families and businesses, making
it difficult for them to afford to keep coverage
while putting health insurance out of reach for
millions who are uninsured. By the end of
next decade health care costs will compromise
one-fifth of our economy. By promoting
vigorous competition, rewarding quality,
encouraging prevention and encouraging
research to find the next generation of cures
and treatment, we can take important steps in
ensuring access to affordable and quality care
for all Americans. I applaud Prix Galien for
recognizing the pioneering spirit of American
innovation and research. |
