In February, Bio by the Lagoon held a networking event focused on U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations and strategies for biotechnology startups. The discussion addressed regulatory pathways for pharmaceutical products, medical devices and diagnostics.

The group also hosted an August event, "Lab of the Future: Robots, AI, and the Next Era of Science," exploring how artificial intelligence and automation are influencing laboratory research and the skills scientists may need in the future.
