NSCEB

For 50 years, the U.S. had the lead in biotech, but now, China is pulling ahead, and our national security is at risk. In the NSCEB’s comprehensive report to Congress, we lay out the research & action plan that will propel us ahead. Read it here: biotech.senate.gov/final-report

🇺🇸 Biotech is not just a frontier of innovation, but a cornerstone of national security 🇺🇸 The Senate Intelligence Committee passed the FY26 Intelligence Authorization Act with six NSCEB recommendations. Read more about the NSCEB biotech provisions: biotech.senate.gov/press-releases…

The work of @biotech_gov highlights why we must elevate biotech as a tool for enabling the next wave of military innovation. I am grateful to my colleagues on SASC for providing our men and women in uniform with cutting-edge tools and technologies. breakingdefense.com/2025/07/biotec…

Biotech is no longer optional for U.S. defense—it’s a strategic necessity. FY26 NDAA boosts: 🧬 $59M+ for biotech R&D 🧪 $137M Navy synbio lab 🔬 Streamlined bio-materials acquisition 🌱 DoD-wide biotech strategy More via @BreakingDefense: breakingdefense.com/2025/07/biotec…

🇺🇸 @SASCGOP & @SASCDems advance biotech in defense via FY26 NDAA: 🔬 Create a DOD Biotech Office 🧪 Require a DOD-wide biotech strategy 🧬 Set ethical biotech guidelines within DOD NSCEB applauds this move to future-proof U.S. security. SASC NDAA Summary: armed-services.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

Biotech isn’t just science—it’s strategy. @SenToddYoung explores biotech for our national & economic security. The U.S. must lead the bioindustrial revolution. 🔗 Interview: issues.org/interview-sena… 📘 Report: biotech.senate.gov/final-report

Biotech is a flywheel—building on itself to drive future breakthroughs across the economy and national security. Strong U.S. leadership isn’t optional. It’s essential. Hear more from NSCEB Vice Chair Michelle Rozo on what’s at stake: marketplace.org/story/2025/06/…

Nature already knows how to build high-performance materials—we just have to learn the language. NSCEB Commissioner Angela Belcher shares her biotech journey and passion for teaching on Grow Everything: ▶️ Listen: tinyurl.com/yr4z8wxu

Thank you to @JayObernolte, @TXRandy14, @RepBrianBabin, @RepZoeLofgren, @RepHaleyStevens, @RepDeborahRoss, @housescience for focusing on the importance of biotech for national security and economic competitiveness. There is time to act, but no time to wait. Let's get to work!

"Emerging biotech, the wonders of biotech are already upon us. The United States is ahead in many key areas. I think people would be surprised at the extent to which in some areas we are behind or poised to be behind in fairly short order if we don't up our game." -@SenToddYoung

NSCEB Commissioners Dawn Meyerriecks and @ericschmidt dive into the harms of adversarial capital and role of the intelligence community in securing American biotechnology. Read their latest article here: time.com/7289325/biotec…

.@RepHoulahan and James Mazol discussed biotech and national security, highlighting the NSCEB's work. Biotech will transform national security technologies and reshape supply chains. We're excited to see Congress and DOD working to streamline the use of biotech for defense.

The biotech frontier is quickly becoming a national security flashpoint. On #NatSecMatters, Jeremy Bash talks with former CIA S&T chief Dawn Meyerriecks on U.S. bio-industrial vulnerabilities—and why bold public-private alliances are key. 🎧 Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nat… 📘…

NSCEB Commissioners joined @ChrisCoons and @Rep_McBride to visit @NIIMBL facilities in Delaware. NIIMBL is a great example of the potential for excellence when government and industry partner together to promote innovation and workforce development. biotech.senate.gov/press-releases…
