Image “The Trump Administration’s proposed cuts to medical research are threatening our ability to find cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s,” said Congressman Crow. “That’s why today I met with CU Anschutz faculty and administrators to learn more about their research and how I can best fight to protect this life-saving work in Washington.” Image Prior to the roundtable, Congressman Crow toured the University’s BIOElectrics Lab, which explores the intersection between technology and the brain as well as the CellSight Program, which is working to develop therapeutics to save and restore sight in patients with blinding diseases.​ Image Congressman Crow has opposed cuts to medical research grants and the NIH, and recently led a letter highlighting how these cuts would hurt Colorado’s economy and stall efforts to find cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. He also strongly opposes the Republican budget proposal that would limit Coloradans’ access to health care. ### Issues : Health
