We’re heading west! This week BIO Ventures for Global Health (BVGH) announced that it is opening a new headquarters office in the heart of the San Francisco financial district. As we work to attract new companies to global health and guide companies already working in the space, we rely on our discussions with biotech leaders to help shape programs and strategies. The new office, located in one of the biggest biotech hubs in the country, gives BVGH the opportunity to get critical feedback on new programs we are developing or policy proposals we are putting forth. This will allow us to better target our work. The proximity to the biotech community on both coasts will also allow BVGH staff to use our time (and the time of the people we meet with) more effectively.
Our team is also expanding. We’ve added two new senior staff and a scientific manager. We will introduce you to them in a future blog post. In the meantime, you can check out their
bios on our Web site. The new team members will be directing two of our key projects that are growing quickly –
Global Health Connect and the
Pool for Open Innovation against Neglected Tropical Diseases.
There’s also important work to be done on the East Coast, so we will be maintaining our strong ties with the East Coast biotech community through our D.C office. The D.C. team didn’t get away without having to pack a few boxes, though. We’ve moved to the Dupont Circle area.
Addresses for both offices are on the
Contact page.
