The Life Sciences Collaborative (LSC) is a select group of founders and investors that share a common vision for enhancing the success of emerging businesses in the biotechnology, medtech, and digital health sectors through peer-to-peer learning, connecting and building professional relationships.  

The Collaborative has built thriving groups over the last ten years in the Princeton, NJ, Philadelphia/King of Prussia, PA, and most recently in Boston, MA, regions all of which are homes to leading life science innovation clusters.

One of the Collaborative’s great strengths is the opportunity for members to build connections across these key regions

Who we are

LSC activities are built around small, informal, monthly breakfast educational and networking meetings. These sessions focus on topics around innovation and investment, including industry trends, practical issues related to growing and managing innovative businesses, and best practices.

The meetings also include presentations by emerging companies, providing them with opportunities to get expert feedback on their technologies and to expand their networks.
