Guests coming onsite must be fully vaccinated and had their COVID booster shot, if they are eligible to receive it.

Please park on the street or by the Design Center.  The Color of Biotech Massachusetts Hosting BioDiversity Networking Event In 2017, a group of professionals of color from Pfizer, Sanofi Genzyme, Shire/Takeda, Biogen and Vertex came together to create a networking opportunity for people of color working primarily in the Kendall Square and the Seaport areas, both of which have quickly become global hubs of scientific innovation and business opportunity. While many people of color are working in Biotech and Pharma, there are not many opportunities for us to come together for business networking, social exchange and development. From R&D and manufacturing to sales and HR to legal and finance there are many people of color working and thriving in Biotech and Pharma.
