The United Nations has proclaimed February 11 as International Day of Women and Girls in Science as part of a mission to reinforce that full & equal access to participation in science, technology and innovation for women and girls of all ages is imperative for achieving gender equality and empowerment.

As the year winds down, you can’t help but look back on the year past. What a wild ride it has been for biotech in general.

In November, after a long journey, I finally became a bone marrow donor. I wanted to share some insights on what led me to bone marrow donation with the hope that others interested in donating will learn something from my positive experience and that I can help remove some of the doubts and fears that have prevented them from becoming a person who says “yes” to bone marrow donation.

Honestly, I’ve been putting off writing this down for a long time. I’ve played it through my head so many times in the past year, what I would say and how I would say it, the right words to use and emotions to convey.

I was incredibly excited to initiate operations at our state-of-the-art, in-house, clinical manufacturing facility in September, the start of a new chapter at Vor Bio.

It’s a wrap for the Vor Bio 2022 Week of Service! From September 19-23, 2022, Vor Bio employees (Voracians) came together to support a variety of community outreach activities focused on service to others.

Company culture is inevitable. When a group of people spend a significant amount of time together, working and interacting, certain patterns of behavior will eventually become standard practice. However, I believe company culture can be shaped.

If we meet a random stranger and get asked the question, “Who are you?” – how do we respond? The same goes for companies. Vor Bio employees (we call ourselves Voracians) have dedicated years of our lives to building the company.
