Highlights

Students and faculty from Georgetown University’s Biotechnology Program attended the Maryland Life Sciences Bioinnovation Conference held on October 10th, 2024. The Maryland Life Sciences Bioinnovation Conference is an event hosted by a division within the Maryland Tech Council. This annual conference gathers top life science professionals in industry and academia from the DC-Maryland area, including leaders from global brands, scientists, venture capitalists, and startups.

Georgetown Biotechnology Program’s students and staff were encouraged to attend the conference to continue engaging with the greater biotechnology community and to stay updated on emerging biomedical technologies. Throughout the conference, there were multiple opportunities to hear from leaders in different sectors of the biotechnology sphere – in R&D, marketing, and even the Maryland Department of Commerce. Students took advantage of this opportunity and interacted with the speakers, presenters, and other attendees during the conference.

The Biotechnology Program will continue to engage with the local biotechnology community and have learning and networking opportunities in the upcoming 2025 Maryland Life Sciences Bioinnovation Conference.

Our beloved Class President, Nick Gravina, MS Biotechnology Candidate, May ’24, takes on Capitol Hill on Monday, April 29, 2024! Always passionate about science and space exploration, Nick will speak to congress on the importance of funding scientific education, including opportunities for underprivileged and underrepresented groups and individuals. Alongside famed science teacher, Bill Nye and other notable scientists, Nick will reiterate the importance of funding for scientific initiatives primarily in space exploration and a major part of that is the NASA budget. You don’t have to be a tenured professor or a clinician with 40 years of experience to have an impact on Capitol Hill. We are so proud of you, and will be cheering you on, Nick!
