MichBio is actively engaged in our nation’s capitol; we seek to educate policymakers and elected officials on the many challenges facing our bio-industry. MichBio plays an instrumental role in the development and enactment of policies that are critical to keeping the biosciences industry flourishing.

Our efforts are made all that more important because the Michigan Congressional Delegation holds leadership positions on key House and Senate committees with jurisdiction over many aspects of the biosciences industry. So it’s essential for us to have a voice with them and their staff. Moreover, various partner groups work through MichBio to reach our elected officials on matters of mutual interest. 

Our federal advocacy efforts are enhanced by close relationships with various national organizations. MichBio is proud to represent its members as the Michigan state affiliate of:

• Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed)
• Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO)
• Medical Device Manufacturers Association (MDMA)
• Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers Association (PhRMA)

In addition, we work with:

• CropLife America
• GeneticsPolicy Institute
• Healthcare Distribution & Management Association (HDMA)
