Vice President Joe Biden visited Duke Health today as part of the national “moonshot” initiative he is leading to advance cancer research.
With the Duke Cancer Institute and the Duke University School of Medicine as a backdrop, the vice president cited the unique history of the Research Triangle area, where major universities, biotechnology companies and federal research agencies have long combined forces. He said the area’s teamwork demonstrates the sort of collaborative effort that the cancer cure moonshot aims to foster nationwide.
