Why I started BioBridge
From a pre-med plan to a BS/MS in biotechnology, and a community of 90K+ asking the same questions I once had.
BS/MS Biotechnology
I was certain I would become a doctor. In college, I completed the shadowing hours, prerequisites, and extracurriculars. But the closer I pushed myself toward a future in clinical work, the more I questioned whether it was actually right for me. I realized I needed a different direction.
While searching for alternatives, I discovered my school offered a combined BS/MS in biotechnology that I could complete in four years. I knew almost nothing about biotech when I applied, but the program revealed just how expansive the field actually is: not just lab work, but business strategy, regulatory policy, manufacturing operations, and more.
I started documenting what I was learning on social media, and the audience grew quickly. Tens of thousands of people followed along, and my messages became a constant stream of the same questions: What is biotech? How do I get in? Do I need a PhD? People were curious, but lacked a practical starting point. BioBridge is the resource I wish had existed when I was trying to figure it out.
