Comment: Please fix the issues previously stated, and rewrite in your own words in a neutral tone. Kind regards, Spinster300 (talk) 19:33, 30 June 2025 (UTC).
Comment: Verbatim copy of speech from websites constituting alarming 57.4% violations of copyright. Others are below the alarming level at 37-39 something. Still, it would be better to remove the all of the exact copies of subject's statements. They are not exactly helpful in establishing notability of the subject or otherwise and reads like textbook chapter about someone's opinions. It may be less when names of the commissions are not considered. Draft is about a notable subject and may get accepted when submitted again after removal of copyrighted content.

After joining the Department of Defense as a Senior Advisor in 2019, in 2020 Dr. Rozo became the Department of Defense's Principal Director for Biotechnology in the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering.[9][10][11]
From February 2021 to December 2022, Dr. Rozo was Director of Technology and National Security at the U.S. National Security Council.[4][12][2]
In 2023, Dr. Rozo joined In-Q-Tel as a Vice President of Technology.[13][14]
Dr. Rozo's expertise has been cited in newspapers, journals, and academic works.[15][16][17][18]
National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology
[edit]In December 2022, Senator Chuck Schumer appointed Dr. Rozo to the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology.[1][19] In her role as Vice Chair of the Commission, Dr. Rozo has presented at international conferences and represented the Commission publicly to speak about the intersection of emerging biotechnology and national security, particularly regarding biotechnology's convergence with artificial intelligence and U.S. strategic competition with the People's Republic of China.[20][21][22] Dr. Rozo has testified before multiple Congressional and government committees.[23] [24]
In March 2025, Dr. Rozo authored "A Policy Framework for Strengthening U.S.-ROK Collaboration on Biotechnology," a chapter in the National Bureau of Asian Research's report "U.S.-ROK Tech Cooperation: Batteries, Biotech, and Quantum Technologies," emphasizing opportunities for collaboration on emerging biotechnology with the Republic of Korea.[25]
In April 2025, Dr. Rozo testified before the House Armed Services Committee Subcommittee on Cyber, Information Technologies, and Innovation alongside Senator Todd Young.[26] Her testimony focused on the recommendations in the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology's policy report to Congress.[27] Dr. Rozo and her fellow Commissioners stated in their report that the United States has a limited window to act before permanently ceding biotechnology leadership to another country, noting that the report has 50 recommendations on which Congress can act.[28][29][30]
Since publishing the April 2025 report, Dr. Rozo has worked with several members of Congress to raise awareness about biotechnology and relevant policies.[31][32]
