"The selection of New Jersey and the Biotechnology Council of New Jersey (BCNJ) by the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) to serve as the hosts for the second meeting of BIO VentureForum East is another affirmation of the continuing emergence of the Garden State as a world leader in biotechnology. This is the first meeting held by BIO in New Jersey and, as such, helped to further highlight the exciting work going on in our members companies before leading venture capitalists.
