Executive Summary
A bill to establish a new research institute devoted exclusively to imaging and bioengineering cleared the US House last week by a voice vote. Although both research areas receive some funding from the National Institutes of Health, the work is not co-ordinated and is outside the sphere of molecular biology that that occupies the current institutes, supporters of HR 1795, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering Establishment Act, said.
