The Coalition for Life Sciences is a group that formed in 1992 to bring together a diverse group of prominent scientists from across the life sciences spectrum to advocate for policies and funding that support the life sciences innovation pipeline. 

CLS does not just represent a single discipline or even just academic medicine. We promote policies that support a strong and healthy innovation pipeline in health.  Bench to bedside.  Our members include academic research, independent research institutions, and industry.

ASCB was a founding member and offered to support the administrative functions of the CLS.  That is how I came to be here at ASCB headquarters as the new Director of CLS, supporting and defending the entire life sciences workforce in collaboration with ASCB, the Society for Neuroscience, the Genetics Society of America, and others.

Please follow us on the web, on the social media sites, in all of the places.
