Bio+Tech

Next Meetup:
February 17, 2010
Time & Place: 7:00pm – place will be in the invite

Please RSVP to: windmiller [at] gmail

San Francisco and the Bay Area has an amazing biotech and bioinformatics community, and it’s time to start cross-pollinating ideas and fields to bring innovations and start-ups.  The tech community already has a vibrant networking and meetup community, but the biotech and bioinformatics community isn’t nearly as advanced.  Come, introduce yourself, tell the group what you’re working on and what you’re interested in.  The rest will evolve from there.

As Bio+Tech evolves I’d like to make sure that it’s founding premise remains strong – that the gathering attracts interesting people interested in biotech (anything from bench science through database experts in informatics labs) and folks from tech who have an interest in biotech and informatics.  Trust me, for tech folks, you don’t have to have a solid understanding of biotech to contribute to the conversation and get involved.  Chances are you’ll actually influence the conversation more!  The premise is to begin to create a community here in the bay area that is modeled after the tech scene and becomes an engine for biotech and life science start-ups.

A bit of background and some thoughts on the meetup.

Part of the philosophy of this meetup is to bring together the best and brightest bio and tech people under the same roof and let the ideas mingle.  Ideally, new ideas and ventures will come out of the meetups.  The invite list is private – our members are free to invite people who they think can add to the conversation.

Feel free to contact me (windmiller [at] gmail) with any questions, suggestions, etc.
