Briefing Overview
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is hosting a Congressional Briefing to highlight efforts aimed to advance biomanufacturing technology here in the U.S. and to share what can be done to promote American technological leadership in this new, quickly-progressing field of engineering. Biomanufacturing will transform our health industry and change the way we care for our veterans. From grafting new skin to 3D-printing biomaterials that will create bones and organs, the advances made today will have profound impact for patients of all kinds. Global competition to develop these new technologies is fierce, and as our engineers, doctors, and scientists continue to innovate, they government plays an integral role in ensuring this technology is invented and applied here in the U.S. From cultivating the brightest minds at our universities and labs, to training and building a technical workforce, the challenges facing biomanufacturing span industries and, or our solutions must as well.
This is a widely attended public event.
