Central Oregon’s bioscience infrastructure is remarkably robust, especially in manufacturing. New investments in contract Research and Development services, as well as OSU-Cascades’ upcoming Innovation District, point to a broadening of bioscience capabilities in the region.

Case in point: Bend Bioscience, whose new R&D and Innovation lab in Bend, Oregon opened this past February, with plans for more expansion.

Our panel guests will include two key Bend Bioscience team members: Michael Grass, Head of Drug Delivery Innovation, and Amber Broadbent, Head of Product and Portfolio Development.

Bio in the High Desert – going strong for fifteen years now – returns with its classic mix of programming and networking. During our program, we’ll engage invited speakers who will share perspectives regarding Central Oregon’s bio-economy. We’ll also welcome new Oregon Bio members and share other Oregon Bio news.

We’ll meet at Deschutes Brewery’s Mountain Room, enjoying a generous spread of hors d’oeuvres with wine, beer, or soft beverages.
