LRIG Philadelphia Chapter Mission & Community

The LRIG Philadelphia Chapter serves the Delaware Valley, connecting professionals from the region's pharmaceutical, biotechnical, CRO, consultant, and academic sectors.

History

The LRIG Philadelphia Chapter was founded in 2004 by Tony Nardei. Formed in late 2005 with its first Board, the chapter incorporated in 2006 and achieved 501(c)(6) status in 2011.

Goal

To facilitate the ability of members to interact and share their questions and knowledge on areas of common interest:

  • Innovative & novel technologies

  • Effective reduction to practice of more established technologies

  • Increased effectiveness and efficiencies for the Laboratory Scientist.

Technology/Vendor Exhibition:  Annual showcase of laboratory automation, software, reagents, and consumables.

Scientific Meetings:  Annual in-person event focused on high-impact themes and emerging trends in the life sciences. Virtual "Lunch-N-Learn" presentations allow members to share expertise; sessions are recorded and available on YouTube.

Social Gathering and Organizational Meeting:  Informal events designed to foster community and shape the chapter's future. All in a relaxed setting with food and drink to identify new volunteers and gather member feedback on future activities.

Characteristics of all Events

  • Free Food: A Generous Supply of Free Food

  • Networking: Provide a dedicated platform for scientists and engineers to share ideas and foster regional collaboration
