Science is changing, and the innovators of tomorrow are ready to meet the challenge.

New York City is home to some of the world’s leading healthcare, research and academic institutions, and produces a massive amount of exceptional talent. There is tremendous momentum driving these three stakeholders to help turn the Tri-State area into one of the world's leading hubs for the life sciences. A critical part of this is maximizing the talent produced, and developing it to make a significant impact.


GRO-Biotech (Graduate Research Organizations for Biotechnology) has quickly become a pivotal player in this endeavor by helping students understand the career opportunities available to them, how to prepare for those careers, and what they can expect from those careers. We also play an active role in connecting leaders in industry with the innovators of tomorrow in academia, effectively spanning the gap between them.


Join us for a day of exciting panel conversations, insightful keynotes, and over three hours dedicated to networking with peers and industry leaders who are creating the next breakthroughs in science and technology. For one of these networking sessions, we are partnering up with the Life Science Recruiting company Scismic, who will lead you through their platform. We have carefully crafted an incredible lineup of speakers to discuss industry trends, career opportunities, and insight into the day-to-day of careers in several sectors.


Note that this conference is for FREE.


We put together a great conference e-brochure for everyone. Use the link below to check it out.

About GRO-Biotech

Founded in 2015, GRO-­Biotech is a coalition of graduate biotechnology organizations from the top life sciences programs in the NYC region,­­­­ with a reach of over 1000 graduate students, medical students, postdoctoral researchers, and clinicians. Our mission is to fill the missing link between industry and academia. We do this through providing our members with opportunities to learn about areas of drug development, healthcare, business, and life sciences entrepreneurship, among others, that they might not otherwise encounter in a traditional science training program. We are helping to nurture the growing biotechnology scene in NYC through events ranging from casual social hours to half and full day conferences featuring some of the foremost thought leaders and biggest life science companies within the tri-state area and beyond.
