The Life Sciences Career Hub

We are excited to announce our partnership with global real estate firm, Lendlease! As part of their development of FORUM, a multi-purpose life science facility located in Boston Landing, Lendlease has made a three year commitment to funding MassBioEd's new Life Sciences Career Hub. The Career Hub will provide career services free of charge to community residents looking for new careers in the life sciences industry. Services will be available at FORUM's common areas, at other facilities throughout Boston and Cambridge, as well as virtually. Read more about the project in the Boston Business Journal article.

2021 Annual Report Released

"2021 was an outstanding year for MassBioEd. The Foundation grew and expanded programs to meet demand for impactful education and workforce development programming in Massachusetts. As the first in the nation to develop a certified Life Sciences Apprenticeship Program, MassBioEd is poised to be a successful leader in developing a diverse pipeline of talent for the industry, spanning the region and invigorating the economy of local communities. I am proud to have served as Board Chair and to work with this dedicated and talented team. The best is yet to come."
- Christopher Murphy, MassBioEd Board Chair
In 2021, MassBioEd celebrated 20 years of building a life sciences workforce. The year marked a year of growth:
  • The first-of-its-kind Life Sciences Apprenticeship Program was launched with registered career tracks for Biomanufacturing Technician and Clinical Trial Associate, training 30 apprentices, 97% of who continued to on-the-job training at 15 employer partner companies. 
  • BioTeach Instructors trained a total of 173 teachers from 134 schools, engaging over 12,500 students in authentic science learning.
  • Our ACCESS Program expanded to reach over 2,000 students in the high-need public school districts of Chelsea and Randolph, Boston's Match Charter, Innovation Academy Charter, and Boston Preparatory Charter schools, and Frontier Regional school in South Deerfield.

BioTeach News

BioTeach Instructors wrapped up the week-long, intensive 2022 BioTeach Summer Institute in August, which trains teachers to use the biotechnology tools and techniques of gel electrophoresis, PCR, HiFi DNA assembly and CRISPR to create new recombinant bacterial strains. Six of nine teachers completed work for the graduate course at Westfield State University. 

The 2022 - 2023 academic year is now underway with teacher professional development workshops and implementation of lab explorations at ACCESS schools including Chelsea Public Schools in its second year of the program, and Revere Public Schools, the newest ACCESS partner district.

Over 100,000 worth of laboratory equipment and lesson kits have been deployed to Revere Public Schools. This sizable purchase of laboratory equipment and kit materials was made possible through a grant from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC). The lab equipment will support the teaching of proper industry techniques to middle and high school students to explore life sciences topics through gel electrophoresis, PCR, and transformation.

We sat down with 2021 ACCESS Program Student Graduate, Jourbienthia Paul, to speak with her about her motivation to return to BioTeach as an Assistant Teacher this past summer and what her plans are for her continued scientific studies in college. Read the story here.

Apprenticeship News

The Clinical Trial Associate Apprenticeship 2022 Cohort will begin their training in October, transitioning to on-the-job training in early 2023. Employer partner Halloran Consulting Group shared their approach for maximizing the apprenticeship program experience in a Clinical Leader article.

Additionally, Clinical Trial Associate, Austin Maxwell, sat down with Halloran Consulting Group to discuss his experience in the Apprenticeship Program at employer partner Jounce Therapeutics in an insightful interview.

Making Connections to Capital

 

Capital investment in the life sciences is up across the board. According to Silicon Valley Bank's new Healthcare Investments & Exits Report, venture capital investment reached new highs in 2021. We also saw a rise in funding from alternative sources of capital including partnerships, foundation investment and angel groups. Connections to multiple sources of capital offer a distinct advantage for startups.


LaunchBio first hosted Invest in Cures in 2018 when disease foundation venture funds and social impact investing to improve patient incomes were relatively new concepts. The conversation has matured since then and there’s plenty to learn from disease foundations and the companies they’ve invested in. Join LaunchBio and NCBiotech for Invest in Cures on February 24 in Durham, NC.


The forum features speakers from Crohn's & Colitis, CureDuchenne, BrightEdge Ventures (American Cancer Society), Dementia Discovery Fund, Foundation Fighting Blindness, and more. It's in-person with limited capacity. You can learn more and buy tickets here. This is a powerful program for making connections and we hope to see you there. 

Here's what else is up:

  • Postponed! 'Hypergrowth' with The City of San Diego at SOVA Science District will be rescheduled to a later date. Tickets refunded in full.

  • How much people get paid. US biotech and life science private company trends in base pay and bonuses from J.Thelander Consulting's newest report. Plus expert analysis. 'Compensation Confidential' on January 27.

  • Attracting talent. There's more competition than ever for talent--people have options! Explore what makes a startup stand out to potential employees and your top priorities when creating jobs. 'The Bid for Talent' on February 17

  • Meet disease foundations. LaunchBio's Invest in Cures forum invites disease foundations to discuss how they fund translational research and drug development. Invest in Cures in Durham on February 24. 


  • Wilson Sonsini insights into drug pricing: New prescription drug provisions in the Build Back Better Act aimed at lowering prescription drug pricing and may impact new drug R&D and innovation. Read the advisory.  

  • Funding for San Diego innovators. Apply for Alliance Healthcare Foundation's 2022 Innovation Initiative (i2) $1 Million Challenge Grant. Deadline is January 28.

Thank you for staying connected with us! We wish you great success out there. 


All the best,


Becky Beattie, CEO

Opioids: Changing the Paradigm on Treating Pain and Addiction
The use and misuse of opioids is a public health crisis. Over 2.5 million in the United States have an opioid use disorder and over 80 people die each day of an overdose. Furthermore, four out of five individuals begin using heroin by first misusing opioid prescription drugs and there are over 200 million opioid prescriptions written each year. In additional to the cost in human lives, the financial cost of substance misuse is staggering. The cost to federal, state, and local governments is $467.7 billion per year; the cost to public and private medical insurers is $72.5 billion; 5.2 million people use opioids annually generating $8 billion in annual opioid sales. Inappropriate prescribing is the fundamental upstream driver of the opioid epidemic. This one day program will discuss opportunities and solutions that the biotechnology industry can provide to help curtail this epidemic.
