Earlier this month, BioME attended BIO International Convention in Boston. This 4-day trade show gave us an opportunity to promote Maine bioscience industry and community to more than 16,000 attendees. The BioME Pavilion featured 7 Maine exhi bitors: The B akerC ompany, GTCA, RockStep Solutions, Optimum Diagnostics Imaging, FirstPark, University of New England and MMCRI. We welcomed many visitors at the Pavilion, including Maine State Legislators whom we brought to Boston on a chartered bus. We also hosted the Maine State Reception at Verrill Dana's Boston Office on June 6. 

Thank you to all sponsors for supporting BioME in this effort, especially MTI, MITC, Verrill Dana and The Jackson Laboratory.

We are happy to announce the winners of our summer science camp scholarships: Tanja Smardzic and Olivia Petersen.  Both girls will attend a week long science summer camp and Maine School of Science and Mathematics in Limestone, Maine this summer. You can learn more about MSSM summer camps  here.
 

The BioME summer camp scholarship is available to students attending schools that participate in ME Bioscience Day, a state-wide one day event organized by BioME when Maine scientists and bioscience employees visit local middle schools to talk about science and inspire young minds.

On April 26, BioME organized a tour of MDI Biological Lab in Bar Harbor, followed by the Spring Networking Reception. Our Board, staff and guests got to learn about all the fascinating biomedical research happening Downeast, as well as meet some super cute axolotls. We also visited Tempshield in Trenton and GTCA in Ellsworth. 

Spring 2018 was definitely filled with good events for BioME and Women in Bioscience at Cellardoor Winery was one that got everybody talking. Completely sold out a month ahead, this amazing networking event featured a panel of successful female scientists and executives moderated by Dr Kristy Townsend of UMaine who serves on our Board. The discussion was very well received and the speakers truly inspirational.
