Mid-Atlantic Student Chapter
In 2015, students from Villanova University, the University of Delaware, and the University of Pennsylvania collaborated to form the Mid-Atlantic Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society’s Biochemical Technology Division (ACS BIOT). Our chapter aims to promote the exchange of scientific knowledge between students and industry professionals interested in the biotechnology field by organizing technical and non-technical-based networking events.
We had an amazing time at #ACSSpring2026 last month. In collaboration with the ACS BIOT Mid-Atlantic Student Chapter and ACS BIOT International Student Chapter, IIT Delhi India, we hosted a joint celebration of the ACS BIOT student chapters. There was also a networking session between students and scientists in the biotech industry. It was aContinue reading “ACS Spring 2026 – Student Chapters”

In March 2023, we hosted an event at Villanova University with consecutive academic and industry poster sessions followed by casual networking. The event featured over 40 people, consisting of Ph.D. students, postdocs, and industry professionals, most of which brought posters that sparked exciting conversations about research on the frontier of biotechnology. The event featured representationContinue reading “Dual Poster Session”
We aimed to highlight the important role start-ups play in our exploding industry and asked a few speakers currently working on the start-up side of the industry toshare their experiences with their work. The speakers shared their insider perspectives on what makes working in a start-up different than an established industry giant with respect toContinue reading “Pushing Boundaries as a Biotech Start-Up Webinar”
