CA & TX have shown what’s possible: state-backed institutes mean billions in returns, thousands of jobs & breakthroughs reaching patients faster.

It’s time for NY to lead. Join the coalition today: nycures.org

@jessicaramosqns.bsky.social Did you know federally funded research powers 30,000+ jobs in New York—but California and Texas have proved more is possible: with state-backed institutes, the life-science workforce can grow even bigger, faster, and stronger. cprit.texas.gov/media/3597/p...

As well as new medicines, the economy gets a $2.5 boost for every $1 the NIH spends, so “publicly funding research is just a no brainer” @lastweektonight.com

But California makes over $4 back per $1 of state-backed biomedical research via CIRM - New York State needs to invest as boldly!

@governor.ny.gov @lizkrueger.bsky.social New York’s biomedical economy is at a tipping point! Investment in science pay off! For heath, for jobs, and for the economy!

NY-CURES @nycures.bsky.social · 23d

New York leads in science & medicine but without state investment, we risk losing talent, cures, jobs, & billions in economic return.

Every $1 California invested in biomedical research returned $4 to the state economy. This isn’t just science—it’s smart economics: www.cirm.ca.gov/our-impact/

For two decades, CIRM has been at the forefront of regenerative medicine, funding over 100 clinical trials and building the infrastructure that drives innovation in stem cell and gene therapies.
