BioInnovate UBC

Bridging the Gap Between Academia and Industry

About BioInnovate UBC

BioInnovate UBC is a pioneering student-led initiative at the University of British Columbia focused on bridging the gap between academia and the dynamic world of biotechnology. Our mission is to foster a vibrant community of innovation by connecting UBC students with industry leaders and exposing them to cutting-edge research and development in biotechnology. We are committed to enlightening students about emerging biotechnologies and facilitating meaningful interactions that can lead to career development and mentorship.

BioInnovate UBC Conference

Our flagship event, the BioInnovate UBC Biotech Conference, held annually in the second semester, is a centrepiece of our efforts. This conference brings together professionals from sectors such as medical biotech, neurotech, biopharma, and engineered human technologies. The BioInnovate UBC Conference not only showcases established figures in the biotechnology community but also highlights student research through a competitive panel format.
