A new virtual community looks to connect Maryland’s biotech players

Biohealth is all over the map in Maryland. There’s the biotech corridor in Montgomery County, where companies like MedImmune LLC and Emergent BioSolutions Inc. call home. The students and academic researchers at Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland are up in Baltimore. Then there are the government agencies and their many, many contractors spread throughout the Baltimore-Washington region.

Chris Frew wanted to find a way to connect all the dots.

Enter BioHive, an online community engagement website for the movers and shakers of biohealth.

BioHive, currently in Beta mode and officially launching this spring, is designed to be a place where people in the biohealth industry can meet, re-connect, discuss industry news and work on projects together. Members create profiles, then they can share links to news articles, comment on other members’ posts and even host video conferences. Eventually, BioHive will host virtual seminars or education sessions.
