Vice President Joe Biden visited Durham, N.C.-based Duke University Wednesday after launching his "moonshot" initiative to cure cancer last month, according to WUNC, North Carolina's public radio station.
On his visit, Vice President Biden toured a research laboratory, spoke with last year's Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Paul Modrich, PhD, and spoke with physicians from Duke and University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
"We need advice on how we can be more helpful and we will not hesitate to tell you where we think the community could be more helpful," Vice President Biden said, according to the report. "Where you view the government as being a bureaucratic stumbling block — I promise you I will clear the way. I promise you."
