About The Caltech Biotech Club

The Caltech Biotech Club is a student organization that provices a bridge between the members of the Caltech community interested in biotechnology and those who are actively involved in the industry. The focus of the club is to establish a forum for Caltech students and researchers to explore the world of biotech and pharma together with the help of experienced individuals.

The Biotech club aims to organize one to two large events per quarter. Our focus is on connecting students to scientists, business leaders, and others in the industry. We encourage members to propose events and speakers and participate in the planning process.
