About GBR
Global Biotech Revolution (GBR) is a youth-led not-for-profit organisation founded in 2012 by two PhD students at the University of Cambridge. We believe that strengthening biotech globally requires leaders embedded in ecosystems all around the world, and we exist to make that happen.
We inspire future biotech leaders by confronting them with the most pressing unsolved challenges in the field. We develop them by giving them the skills, experience and network to lead and execute in the biotech world. And we connect them to a lasting global community of like-minded people who share the same ambition.
GBR is entirely run by students and young professionals who are passionate about the future of biotech and the impact that the next generation of leaders can have on it. If that resonates with you, we'd love to have you on board.
