Triangle Biotech Tuesday

Triangle Biotech Tuesday (or TBT) is a monthly networking event started in May 2012 to connect scientific professionals, facilitate collaborations, and foster communications throughout RTP and the greater Research Triangle area. Our monthly events bring in members of many different companies, at different stages of life and career, for the purpose of professional
development and support. It allows members to reach across industries, explore job opportunities, and increase their impact in the local biotech community. TBT aims for continuous growth through the participation of major pharmaceutical, biotech, government and academic institutions within and around RTP, and is also a registered non-profit in the state of North Carolina.
