We are a group of biotechnology professionals in the San Diego area committed to increasing networking and communication between our members. Membership is open to those who work or have recently worked at a biotechnology, life sciences, diagnostics, green technology, medical devices, or pharmaceutical company in the San Diego area (others might qualify--just ask us). We host monthly networking events in which we actively promote face to face networking, while allowing members to also connect and interact on LinkedIn and/or Meetup. We plan to feature new or exciting companies at the events, and also provide relevant workshops, allowing members to learn more and build a high-quality network of biotech professionals. We currently have 1500+ members on LinkedIn (http://tinyurl.com/sdbiotech), and normally have 100+ attendees at our events. Don't let the low numbers here fool you--many RSVP through http://sdbn.org. We are creating a new type of networking group which involves its members more--ask us about volunteering, or let us know if you have suggestions!
The outsourcing model for drug discovery, where a significant fraction of drug research is carried out by contract research organizations (CROs), is a great opportunity for the San Diego Biotechnology community. Our rich history in research and development has given rise to around 125 local CROs. Assay Depot is a local company with a simple yet fully functional marketplace for CROs and the researchers who need them. Read more
