A mentor’s experience can change the trajectory of an aspiring professional's career. The transition from college into the life science industry is a defining moment, and having dedicated guidance can make a meaningful difference. Through @BiocomInstitute's Life Science Career Fellowship program, mentors have the opportunity to guide emerging talent as they take their initial steps into the workforce. In our 2026 cohort, the percentage of fellows reporting strong confidence in pursuing life science careers jumped from 39% to 86%, while 95% of mentors agreed that fellows left the program fully prepared to seize new opportunities in the industry. With a flexible, six-month hybrid commitment totaling just 15 hours from January through June, mentoring offers a meaningful way to strengthen leadership skills, gain fresh perspectives and help build California’s life science workforce.

AI is moving from experiment to operating model across life science. While 85% of surveyed organizations expect to increase agentic AI investment, only 22% report successfully scaling AI today. The next phase will be defined not by who experiments with AI, but by who can translate it into meaningful scientific and operational results.
