BLOC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and professional network of more than 1,400 individuals across the biopharma and life sciences industries.
Rooted in community, excellence, and impact, our mission is to equip and empower professionals across the life sciences to reach their highest potential—amplifying leadership, accelerating access, and building lasting legacies of success.
Our Vision
To build a vibrant, interconnected, and self-sustaining community of professionals driving innovation and leadership across the industry.
BLOC is a professional home for individuals at every stage of their career — from emerging talent to seasoned executives. Our growing community represents a broad range of disciplines, united by a shared commitment to excellence, collaboration, and meaningful progress.
We host flagship events during the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in January and the BIO International Convention in June, in addition to curated gatherings throughout the year in key biotech hubs across the U.S. These programs are designed to elevate our members, spotlight their contributions, and expand access to the networks that move careers and the industry forward.
“To AMPLIFY and uplift the voices of leaders across our industry whose contributions often go unseen or under appreciated — to create space for a broader, more inclusive definition of leadership.To build a community of SUPPORT and MENTORSHIP for rising professionals who are rich in potential but may lack access to the networks, advocates, and visibility needed to thrive.To expand ACCESS and AWARENESS for students and early career professionals who may not yet see a clear path into this industry — either because they haven’t been exposed to it, or because the system can be difficult to navigate without guidance.”
