The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) will launch its 2007 BIO International Convention in Boston on May 6 with a special media-only brunch that will include the announcement of results of a one-of-a-kind public opinion research project conducted by two premier U.S. polling firms.

The research project, consistent with the theme of this year's BIO International Convention, 'New Ideas. Bold Ventures. Global Benefits,' encompasses the results of two separate polls conducted jointly by Republican and Democratic strategists. The surveys will allow pollsters for the first time to measure insider insights from top-level executives at biotechnology companies against the public's perception of the biotechnology industry and its potential to solve some of world's most pressing challenges."
