About BioArbor
BioArbor is an entirely volunteer-run organization that hosts educational networking events for the life sciences industry in the greater Ann Arbor area.
Each event features a networking session followed by a panel discussion with invited speakers from both the national and local ecosystems and a post-presentation Q&A period. Speaker expertise varies based on the discussion topic but all have experience in areas such as drug discovery and development, medical devices, diagnostics, and tools.
Events are scheduled approximately six times per year, are free and open to the public, and are especially suited for those interested in starting or growing life science businesses.
BioArbor is sponsored by MichBio and Ann Arbor SPARK
