About Us

Women in Bio (WIB) was founded in October 2001 by four women with the goal of bringing female entrepreneurs and executives together to support each other in developing successful biotechnology or life sciences businesses. Since its creation, the WIB membership has expanded to include women of all generations at all stages of their careers. Today, this vibrant national organization includes women executives, entrepreneurs, scientists, investors, students, and women in professional fields that serve the life sciences industry, all of whom share an interest in science and entrepreneurship.

Through educational and networking opportunities, WIB brings women in biotechnology and the life sciences together and helps to foster womens' participation in entrepreneurship and professional development in these fields. Our innovative programs include:

• business educational programs and workshops
• networking and business opportunities for entrepreneurs and executives to meet with investors, attorneys, accountants, marketing executives, and human resource experts
• social/networking events, including an annual dinner that honors women who have founded companies
• professional development seminars to help women advance their careers
• information and programs on science entrepreneurship for young women in middle and high school.
