Johnson and Johnson (JNJ)

[north40000]

We attended ASCO 2016 and visited numerous companies' booths and posters, including the large JNJ/Janssen site. I understand that JNJ is participating in the following project discussed by Vice President Biden in his remarks near the close of ASCO this past Monday....take some time, about 1/2 hour, for an introduction to a massive IT and R&D effort to find better ways to attack cancer worldwide.

We found the remarks of Vice President Biden at ASCO to be educational from a bigger picture perspective. My wife and I saw and heard the remarks from the vantage point of an overflow auditorium. Estimated attendance of scientists and M.D.s: 37k.
