Associate Industry Members: At MassBio, we are committed to creating the ideal environment life sciences companies to succeed. As part of that mission, associate industry memberships are limited. If space is not available, you may apply to be placed on our waiting list. Companies on this list will be contacted as soon as space becomes available. If you would like to learn more about the benefits of MassBio membership for your organization please contact Matt Koons.

Memberships are only available to organizations, not to individuals. In order to be a member, organizations must be incorporated and have a Federal Tax Identification number. Once an organization is a member, however, every employee of that organization can enjoy member benefits.

Please visit Membership Types & Rates to determine your company’s membership type, calculate the corresponding membership rate, and find additional information related to membership options.

Members are not required to have a Massachusetts location to become a member.

If you do not know who the primary membership representative for your company is, please contact Matt Koons to request this information.

Dedicated member representatives can make changes to their company profile through the member portal. If you are the primary member representative, simply login and click on “Manage Company Profile.”
