BioConnect is a graduate student initiative
BioConnect 2019
The 不良研究所 Biotechnology Graduate Students Society (BtGSS) will be organizing its Ninth Annual BioConnect Symposium on November 4th, 2019 at New Residence Hall. This year's theme is focused in Biotechnological Innovation in Academia and Industry and aims to foster collaboration between the academic research environment and the industry's drive for innovation. This year鈥檚 symposium will emphasize the current prospects of biotechnology and biology-related fields in both academia and industry as well as explore the future and growth of this field.
We hope to build upon last year鈥檚 event which brought great attention to academia and industry research motivations and the future perspectives of collaborative work to direct the future of research. The event attracted more than 180 participants from both industry and the university milieu as well as an impressive lineup of speakers from the financial, regulatory, scientific, and 不良研究所 communities.
鈥�
BioConnect 2019 will focus on bringing internationally renowned speakers and guests from diverse professional backgrounds to discuss the current development and future direction of cutting edge research in domains related to biotechnology. It offers a platform to showcase the latest discoveries and network with the biotechnology community from across the globe. The symposium will feature presentations by invited experts in various biotechnology-related fields, an in-depth panel discussion, a poster presentation competition, and a networking cocktail. We extend our invitation to the interdisciplinary biotechnology community and look forward to connect various fields of biotechnology from the lens of academia and industry at the #BioConnect2019.
