Our Story
In the aftermath of the 2020 Beirut explosion, Dr. Francois Nader and Khalil Barrage coordinated efforts to deliver critical medications to Lebanon. During this crisis response, they uncovered an extraordinary yet untapped network of Lebanese professionals thriving in the life sciences industry, including many distinguished alumni of the American University of Beirut, the Lebanese American University, and St. Joseph University. This discovery led to the creation of BIOLINK.org, a growing global community of Lebanese heritage professionals working in or with the life sciences industry.
