WELCOME to the home of the Biotech
and Pharma Professionals Network, for short the BioPharm Network. Our goal is to provide a world wide social and business network within our niche: Life Sciences, Biotech, Pharma, medical diagnostics, medical devices, laboratory work, clinical trials and health care research. Within this niche we can offer a lot. We will provide better opportunities to communicate between group members and we welcome members offering business ventures as well as recruiters. |
Join Biotech & Pharma Professionals Network On LinkedIn
We opened our doors on February 28th, 2008 and now have more than 50,000 members in the group. This puts us among the big groups on LinkedIn, and makes it easier for you to find people to whom you want to connect. We have also set up new groups for Medical Device Professionals, Diagnostics, and Clinical Trials Professionals. If one of these is your field, you can join us there too. |
|
Today, the Biotech & Pharma Professionals Network membership reached 60,000. We are making some changes as we pass this milestone: 1. Moving all discussion and job posting to our group Forum We have been getting so many posts that members say they can't have a useful discussion, but we cannot manage the discussions and job posts of 50,000 members with the tools available in LinkedIn. All the discussions and job posts for the Biotech & Pharma Professionals Network will now be in the Forum and our LinkedIn discussion area will close. In our Forum we have over 40 boards, allowing topics to be organized and many people to help with moderation. We are identifying experts who can make sure that questions are answered within a reasonable time, while different people will be able to moderate different boards. The Forum also supports our services to job hunters. Unlike on LI, posts and discussions on the Forum are searchable, so if you use good keywords you should get more response. If you have a blog or other news source with a feed, we can carry your feed. We are not leaving LinkedIn but supplementing it. LinkedIn has great tools for finding people and a message system which allows members to make contact with any of the other 50,000 in our group. We will make it as easy as possible to move between the two sites. We plan to work with LinkedIn and see if they will help us. Our News area will be only for information about activity on the Forum, major industry events, and major industry news. For easy access, start at http://www.linkedin.com/newsArticle?viewDiscussion=&articleID=30005902&gid=60035 |
2. Services for members considering a career change or actively looking for a job If you are, or might be looking for a job, ask for access to our private job hunter area. We have some advice accumulated there, a board where you can message other job seekers, and an area you can use to connect with a mentor. For access, register on the Forum then send a Personal Message to Martin. You will get access faster by using a PM. When you are logged in you can send the PM using this link: http://biopharmnetwork.org/forum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=1 . 3. Offering mentoring and other advice to members, especially job hunters We envisage a mentor advising a few job hunters who are looking in the field with which the mentor is familiar. Each job hunter probably requires a few phone discussions, suggestions of leads with whom they can network, and some e-mail introductions to networking contacts. Face to face contact would be useful if you are in the same area, but is not required. If you can help as a mentor, please contact me: martin@biopharmnetwork.org or, when you are logged in, by PM http://biopharmnetwork.org/forum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=1 . 4. We continue to welcome and support recruiters. We need you more than ever before. There are six boards to divide jobs geographically. Like our other boards they are searchable. You can post as soon as you have logged in. When we see you have posted, we will give you full recruiter access. Start at http://recruiter.biopharmnetwork.org Sincerely, Martin

WE ARE STILL LOOKING for more experts and moderators to help manage the discussion boards, and for mentors: experienced people in any life science field can help. The more we divide up the work, the less the load for each. |
Registration on the Forum is quick and easy. You choose your own user name and password, and type six characters to prove you are human – no waiting, no email verification. |
| To handle the new traffic, we have switched to commercial hosting, and we now have sponsors who will pay commission on items that members buy through links from this site. To start, most sponsors are US based. We will look for others in the countries of our members. | We think that professionals in our field should be able to contact their colleagues easily, but your e-mail will not be published unless you choose. |
|
We are still transferring parts of the site to the new host: if
you find a broken link, please report it. We have replaced the
old forum, which obviously did not work. Please check out the
new forum (Forum, fora?). You can
register here: choose your own user
name and password. The new forum is searchable and has an area
for members to seek and offer commercial and business services.
Local or more specialized groups in our field are offered free (no cost) space on the site and in the forum. Local groups can use their own language. |
Currently, our group is over 50,000 members located around the world: students, researchers, professors, physicians, biotech & pharma industry scientists; job seekers, recruiters, investors, executives, consultants, managers, retirees, people in business development and sales. We open our doors widely to people interested in our field and industry. For now, we have open enrollment: all applications for membership are being accepted, whether through LinkedIn, Facebook, Ecademy or here on the Forum. |
| Email any questions or comments, and report broken links please, to moderator@biopharmnetwork.org (or martin or hey.you - they all go to the same box). | Our group is a Network, and we want you, the Members, to benefit from your connection: what goes around comes around, so please plan to support another member from time to time. |
