Meet the Committee Members
The Faces of our Association
Open Innovation in Life Sciences has developed and grown over the years. Our members are early career researchers from all walks of life sciences. We’re very proud of the diversity of our current and former members, and their abilities to contribute their own unique experience and skills to our success.
Joining our association as a committee member is a great learning opportunity if you want to step outside of the lab and get hands-on experience with non-scientifc project/program managment, negotiation, business and growth strategy, marketing, and much more. You'll be connected to our growing international network of OILS alumni and expert open science supporters in academia, industry, and beyond.
Join us today!
