  • Network, collaborate, and share experiences from managing and/or working on Life Science project teams.
  • Discuss and learn about topics and activities specific to Life Science projects, such as validated projects, quality assurance issues, and project execution within a highly regulated environment.
  • Educate and share knowledge about the Life Sciences industry with the larger project management community.
  • Act as champions in support of required project activities related to compliance with FDA or other healthcare-related regulations.
  • To mentor, develop, and foster growth of the next generation of Life Science project managers.
  • Leverage best practices, tools & techniques from other industries, such as Agile.
*The Life Sciences industry is intended to include pharmaceutical, medical device, biotechnology, and healthcare/medical organizations.

Scope

What state is home to 12 of the world’s 20 largest pharmaceutical, medical technology and diagnostics companies, over 400 biotechnology companies, the world’s largest clinical research organizations and has the world’s highest concentration of scientists and engineers in the world?

With nearly 3,200 facilities operating across all sectors and $30.1 B estimated annual expenditures the New Jersey life sciences industry directly employs over 112,000 people, second only to California (with a population 30x larger).

That’s a lot of projects to be managed!

PMINJ has formed the Life Science LCI to serve as a forum for project management professionals with an interest in the Life Sciences industry (pharmaceutical, medical devices, biotechnology, and healthcare / medical organizations) to network, collaborate, and share knowledge and experience.

The Life Sciences LCI will work in cooperation with the PMINJ Chapter to provide additional value to PMINJ members and people in the community with a focus on and/or interest in project management within Life Science organizations.
