The purpose of BIOMED CONNECT
Connecting the people who move biomedical science forward.
Bridging the gap between students, early-career researchers and established professionals — so that knowledge, mentorship and opportunity travel further than the institution they started in.
Our mission is to build a vibrant, collaborative platform that connects biomedical professionals — accelerating knowledge sharing, innovation and better outcomes across healthcare and research.
To be the leading network where biomedical professionals collaborate, innovate and transform healthcare — where every breakthrough is accessible and every professional is connected.
Established by Dr. Frank Sandulu to democratise access to biomedical knowledge and open collaboration to researchers wherever they work.
Ndola, Copperbelt Province, Zambia — with members and chapters across the region and beyond.
