U.S. Senator Barbara A. 
Mikulski (D-Md.), a senior member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, continued her Maryland biotechnology listening tour at a roundtable discussion with Frederick County pharmaceutical companies at MedImmune. Senator Mikulski has continued to meet with members of the Maryland medical industry as the Senate HELP Committee examines reauthorizing user fee legislation, which supports the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical device industries that account for nearly 90,000 Maryland jobs and works to keep families safe and healthy.
“In Maryland, biotech means jobs, jobs, job,” said Senator Mikulski, a senior member of the Senate HELP Committee and a member of the Drug Shortage Working Group. “I have heard from Maryland pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, doctors, nurses and patients about the need for safe and effective treatments that are both readily available and affordable. I’m proud to support research and innovation jobs in Maryland’s biotech industry keeping our state competitive in the global economy. By working to develop safe and effective treatments, we can ensure that our nation’s health care providers have the tools they need to keep families healthy.”
