The Bay Area chapter is part of a national network that began in Boston in 2016 and now includes affiliates in Philadelphia, San Diego, New York, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, the organization operates with a modest staff and serves members of the life sciences community by connecting them with opportunities to contribute beyond funding.
