Virginia Biotechnology Association
- Virginia Biotechnology Association
The Virginia Biotechnology Association (VaBIO) is the statewide trade group that promotes the scientific and economic impact of the biotechnology industry in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Headquartered at the Virginia Bio-Technology Research Park, in Richmond, Virginia, VaBIO was founded in 1992 and incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia as a non-profit 501 (C) 6 trade association. It is the official state affiliate of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO).
VaBIO sponsors student internships, workforce development initiatives and serves as the primary contact point for the media, government officials, researchers and students regarding the bioscience industry in Virginia. Its activities are governed by a board of directors comprised of twenty-four leaders representing all segments of the bioscience community. The first full time executive director for VaBIO, Mark A. Herzog, was hired in August 2000.
The Virginia Biotechnology Association is one of the three founding partners of Mid-Atlantic Bio, the first regional bioscience convention that combines academia, the commercial bioscience industry and the venture capital community in one major event.
VaBIO also produces the Virginia Bioscience Blog and the Virginia Bioscience Podcast.
