The life sciences industry is crucial to New Jersey’s economic health and the physical health of individuals around the world. It’s a pretty big deal. Keeping the business healthy, then, is an important task — one BioNJ has been tackling since 1994.

The organization advocates for its membership in Trenton and Washington, pursuing policies that will nurture and expand the industry in the state. In addition, BioNJ provides education and networking opportunities, fosters collaboration where appropriate and offers a variety of business assistance.

In this edition of NJBIZ Conversations, Debbie Hart, BioNJ’s founding CEO, discusses the state of the life sciences industry in New Jersey, the outlook for the next year and the organization’s priorities in the post-COVID era.
