BIO’s John Crowley on China, Trump, and vaccines
Former biotech CEO John Crowley is bringing big changes to the biotech industry’s largest lobbying group. He’s a Republican who wants to keep the organization focused on its core mission instead of on social issues. He restructured the organization to dedicate more resources to vaccine education and women’s health, since becoming BIO’s CEO in March.
Crowley sat down with me and my colleague John Wilkerson for a wide-ranging conversation about his interest (or lack thereof) in serving in a Trump administration, his views on the GOP’s stance on vaccines, the group’s position on the BIOSECURE Act, and his strategy in implementing layoffs earlier this year.
