Life Science Washington Institute’s annual BioBash is a celebration of Washington state life science entrepreneurs and the community partners that support them. This event brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem leaders to recognize the discoveries, achievements, and innovations that have shaped Washington’s life science industry. Not only do we celebrate our state’s incredible entrepreneurs, but we also recognize the coaches, consultants, and mentors who provided their invaluable support to uplift and inspire the next generation of life science leaders.

Two awards will be presented during BioBash:
