The Bio2Device Group is the first peer
volunteer organization of its kind in Silicon Valley to
focus on the convergent needs of engineers, scientists,
and others working in the biotechnology, medical device,
and pharmaceutical industries. The group was founded in
2003.
Why was The Bio2Device Group created?
In 2003, during the significant economic downturn the Bay Area's biotechnology community experienced, the founders of the B2DG recognized a need to create a forum for the large number of experienced displaced community members to come together to share information about employment opportunities in the medical device, pharmaceutical and related biotechnology sectors. Prior to that time, no grassroots effort had been undertaken to serve this group of professionals. The concept was so well received that NOVA agreed to provide support.
How can you benefit from The Bio2Device Group?
Whether you are a corporate representative looking for talent to fill a fulltime or consulting position, an unemployed worker trying to connect with your next employer or a biospace worker looking for focused ongoing educational information, the B2DG can help. The Yahoo Group Link is operated by the
Bio2Device Group at the Yahoo Groups website. The Yahoo
Group is a vehicle for the Bio2Device Group membership to
easily exchange and share information online. In addition
to message postings on almost any topic you find relevant
to your interests or presentations by invited speakers,
members can also post files, links, and other databases
online that may be helpful to other biospace professionals.
You may signup to join the Yahoo Group at any of our
weekly meetings.
The success of the Bio2Device Group is made
possible only by the active participation of its
membership. To get information on how you can participate
