Coronavirus Hub

The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) recognizes the need for our member companies to share mission-critical resources with other BIO members during the Coronavirus pandemic.  To that end, we will be relaxing our policies on posting company sales or marketing information on BIO.org, to the extent such information is relevant to helping BIO members respond to the pandemic.  Accepted information on products and services related to the COVID-19 response will be posted as part of BIO’s Coronavirus Business Response Center.  This information will be posted through April 30, 2020; this date will be re-evaluated as the date approaches. 

The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) is providing this information and links below only as a source of potentially relevant information, and inclusion of such information on this website is not, and should not be construed as, a direct or indirect endorsement of the products or services by BIO.
