Science Without Borders: Seeding Labs Fall Mixer

Fall is almost upon us, bringing shorter days, crisp autumn nights, apple cider doughnuts, and New England fall foliage. What better way to kick off the fall season than by reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, and sharing how we can create a world where science has no borders?

Join us for an evening of networking at MassBio and hear from an expert panel about global innovation at the intersection of academia and industry in the developing world. The presenters for the evening will highlight the international diversity of our own life sciences ecosystem and discuss how we can contribute to advancing innovation around the world.

The event is free, but pre-registration is required! Event sign-in begins at 5:00 PM. Light food and refreshments will be provided.
