Overview
Thank you BIOS readers!
Since our launch last year, BIOS has generated 2.5M+ impressions across our content platforms & growing rapidly at 100,000+ views per week. Garnering BIOS top writer status on Medium, a top podcast in entrepreneurship, & over 20K subscribers to our daily newsletter. This is all thanks to your loyal support!
We’re humbled by the overwhelming volume of your consumption & excited to give you even more!!
After a year of creating our own content we’d like to open up the floor to the broader community to share their thoughts :)
We’re excited to announce the launch of BIOS Contributors!
We are looking for writers to publish stories related broadly to Life Science innovation: this can include topic features on a particular subject, advice for founders, the latest trends in VC, what’s shaping Pharma R&D, opinions on the latest news trends (M&A, funding, drug approvals, etc.), & so much more!
Rather you are a first time writer or a veteran thought leader, we’d like to invite you to contribute to BIOS. We look forward to featuring your work!

For some examples of topics we’ve explored & the format of our work…
BIOS Feature & Opinion Examples:
Feature #1: mRNA & The Next Pandemic
Scientists have attempted to develop RNA-based drugs for decades, but prior efforts have been limited in success. The COVID-19 pandemic ushered mRNA vaccine technology onto the world stage, increasing the number of patients receiving this technology from thousands to millions. A core application of mRNA vaccine technology is in the prevention and treatment of future pandemics. Here, we highlight the scientific potential of mRNA vaccine technology in pandemic prevention and the operational changes that need to occur in order for mRNA technology to be leveraged again for future pandemics. Read More!
Feature #2: Time Capsule: 50 Years in Biotech
The coronavirus pandemic has already shown the world the importance yet fragility of our healthcare system. At the same time, we have seen the tremendous strength of modern biotech infrastructure. While a century ago, a disease as devastating as Covid-19 might have no recourse, in 2020, our nation’s top scientists will have advanced vaccine candidates to Phase III trials at an unprecedented pace. What explains this and where did the modern biotech stack come from? Read More!
Feature #3: Fostering Entrepreneurial University Labs
The ultimate goal for scientists is to make a positive impact — for patients, for other scientists, and for humanity. Thus, the question becomes: how can we get more labs to break out of the traditional research / publish cycle to focus on translating timely research into high potential startups? Read More!
Opinion #1: A Call for Translational Science
There are (of course) many ways to advance research programs from “bench to bedside”. Entrepreneurship is the one I’m the most familiar with. It’s also the one I think is most exciting, but it’s definitely not for everybody.
A practical way to explore this question is in terms of a cost-benefit analysis. There are a lot of good reasons to engage in entrepreneurship and a lot of reasons to maybe not get involved in the first place. Read More!
Opinion #2: The Purpose of Branding in Science
Like it or not, branding and self-promotion are an integral part of science. Our training might focus primarily on how to do science, but that isn’t enough; we also need to promote ourselves and our findings in order to persuade others to fund and collaborate on our research, and to highlight the value of our discoveries so we can broaden their reach. Read More!
Other topics we’re interested in covering….
- Synthetic Biology: Engineering Biology, Directed Evolution, Gene Editing, and New & Emerging Technologies.
- Careers: How to find jobs, best skills for job hunting, anything that will help our readers build a biotech career.
- College, Grad School, & Continuing Education: What should we study, where should we go to school, who should we work with? Or, why we shouldn’t go to more school and how we can make our mark on the biotech world in our own way.
- Other Science & Technology Topics: There is so much going on, and we all want to know about it. Open topics related to biotech are always welcome. We want you to teach us as much as you teach others.
