Life Science Professionals

BioAdvance is committed to developing and sponsoring programs that help life sciences professionals in the Greater Philadelphia region and that are focused on strengthening interactions within the business and academic community.

One such program that BioAdvance and other regional leaders sponsored is Career GPS, which was held in November 2009. Career GPS was developed to introduce displaced life sciences professionals from the Greater Philadelphia region to the concept of entrepreneurship. The inaugural program was held at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania and has since been replicated regionally to assist hundreds of additional professionals.  The program's panel discussed skill transferability and was recorded for pod-casting. The panel's introductory comments, panel introductions and panel discussionswill be posted here shortly. BioAdvance, the University City Science Center and Wharton Small Business Development Center along with We Work for Health are planning a next program for emerging regional entrepreneurs called Entrepreneur OnRamp. This program  is scheduled for late Spring 2010. Details and registration information will be posted in the coming weeks.

Another regional program that BioAdvance initiated is the Greater Philadelphia Bioinformatics Alliance. The Greater Philadelphia Bioinformatics Alliance is a consortium of regional research and academic organizations dedicated to advancing the field of biomedical informatics-the integration of medicine, biology and advanced computational sciences that is revolutionizing life science research and holds the promise for significantly improved healthcare.Visit the GPBA website.
