We’re focused on working across the aisle to cut red tape and ensure bioscience innovators have the tools and support they need to thrive.” “It was an honor to have the opportunity for Congresswoman Sinema to join us at the Funding Innovation Roundtable and to share her insights and ideas with award winning Arizona life science leaders from Pinnacle Transplant Technologies, NeoLight, Smart Brain Aging, and Beacon Biomedical,” said Joan Koerber-Walker, president & CEO of AZBio. “Not only did these great companies get to interact with one of the most respected life science innovation champions in Washington, D.C., but our assembled audience of life science innovators and investors did too. They all walked away with a better understanding of what it is really like to get things done in our nation’s capital and a knowledge that there are leaders like Congresswoman Sinema who are committed to making life better for people here in Arizona and around the country, just as our life science industry members do in their labs, factories, and offices." In May, the House of Representatives passed the Fostering Innovation Act, legislation introduced by Congresswoman Sinema, to provide commonsense regulatory relief for companies on the cutting edge of scientific and medical research. Congresswoman Sinema received AZBio’s 2016 Public Service Award for her work to support and advance Arizona’s medical and bioscience industries. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
