An officially recognized academic association of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at California State University, Long Beach

The CSULB Biotechnology Club helps students connect with research mentors, build professional skills, and explore career paths in the life sciences.

We host workshops on resumes, interviews, and graduate school applications, and we bring in scientists and industry professionals for candid conversations about their work and the decisions that shaped their careers.

Our internship board, peer mentoring network, and speaker series give students practical advice and connections they can use right now.

We look forward to welcoming you to our events this semester.
