A global biotech community for all

You don’t need a Ph.D. to get started in biotech. At Dojo, we’re committed to lowering the barrier to entry into biotech for undergraduates through open-access education, community, and capital.
Since our inception in December 2020 (previously named BioDojo), we have expanded from a Facebook group chat to a global community of ambitious, like-minded emerging biotech leaders. We've reached 400+ student alumni across six countries with our experimental biotech programs, awarded $75,000 in life sciences research grants, and hosted over 40 lectures and workshops on cutting edge biotech topics. And we're just getting started!

Leadership
We're a team of undergraduate leaders from around the world who make everything happen behind the scenes. At its core, we're a nimble, tight-knit group spanning a variety of disciplines and interests, united by the common goal in wanting to make waves in biotech education, funding, and community-building.
We take pride in the talent we cultivate within our leadership and program alumni, many of whom have gone on to pursue graduate degrees at top research institutions, publish science in top journals, and embark on their own biotech entrepreneurial endeavors. Other notable achievements include:
We make up 24% of 2023-2024 Time Initiative fellows, a selective community and grant for undergraduate trailblazers in aging research.
15+ Dojo alumni are recipients of the prestigious Emergent Ventures fellowship ran by the Mercatus Center in Arlington, VA.
