bench2BUSINESS

iPRAXIS is the originator of bench2BUSINESS, an unprecedented effort to connect aspiring and established scientists and entrepreneurs of color in the Greater Philadelphia area.

Our first major bench2BUSINESS symposium was in 2008. It was designed to connect individuals of color from scientific felids with biotech advisors and investors who can offer skills and wisdom about venture opportunities in the life science industry. Through open forum discussions, case studies and inspiring success stories, bench2BUSINESS 2008 provided a foundation for scientists attempting to take the next step in their careers.

The 2008 conference was a huge success, and iPRAXIS is planning additional, follow-up events.
