Rather, we’re combining biological science, chemistry, materials science, and engineering to drive new growth opportunities.” She also said that one of the most pressing issues confronting the United States today is the need to create “an appropriate regulatory regime – tax regime – to help U.S. companies compete in a global economy.”
