<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">The discussion, held at Seattle Children’s Research Institute, concerned the immediate and growing threat to biomedical research posed by current federal administration actions,
and what’s at stake for patients and families. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none">“Medical research is an economic powerhouse. It supports millions of jobs across the country, especially here in Washington state, and generates billions in economic activity,”
Murray said. “But the real impact isn’t economic, it isn’t jobs, it isn’t awards, it is miracles that give people hope and more time with loved ones. That could mean a new vaccine to protect us from a disease. It could mean new treatment that saves lives.
Or a breakthrough discovery that revolutionizes care and research, like Dr. King’s work showing a gene tied to breast cancer.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
