The achievements of the United States life sciences industry over the past two years have been nothing short of astounding. In a previously unimaginable time frame, the sector developed and produced multiple Covid-19 vaccines that were effectively distributed to hundreds of millions of people across the globe, and it was truly a willingness to collaborate within and across sectors that carried the day. Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies worked tirelessly to develop and manufacture vaccines and therapeutics, governments invested billions of dollars in the name of public health, and regulatory agencies like the FDA were able to accelerate their review processes to keep up with fast timelines. Meanwhile, advancements across therapeutic areas from cell and gene therapy to work on neurodegenerative diseases continued at a breakneck pace.
