Breakthroughs in Bioscience Subcommittee

The charge of the subcommittee is to choose timely topics that demonstrate the critical link between basic research in the biomedical sciences and the improvement in the quality of medical care available to our citizens. These topics are then developed into articles that are easily accessible to a broad audience of non-scientists including legislators, policy makers, and the general public. The original purpose of the series was to provide Congress with direct information that could be used to justify support for biomedical research. As the series has evolved a second component has been the use of these articles in science education. The subcommittee is a standing subcommittee of the SPC, and its yearly goal is to produce two high quality Breakthroughs issues for distribution.
