Before our monthly biotech meetup, we are taking a special tour of an amazing biotech facility at Four Star Mushroom!
About this Event

Just like every month, we're inviting everyone excited about biotechnology in the Chicagoland area to come and mingle with other bioenthusiasts and bioprofessionals at our monthly Biotech Fermenter. But as a special treat for the new year, we reached out to Four Star Mushrooms, a company producing fungi at a state of the art facility in West Town. Four Star Mushrooms is building an integrated food ecosystem through the marriage of controlled-environment and regenerative agriculture. Their brand cultivates premium quality gourmet and functional mushrooms that we distribute directly to restaurants, hotels, caterers, clubs, and grocers across Chicagoland.

Join us for a treat before we have a night of networking at the wonderful Midwest Coast Brewing and go on a tour of a prime example of a biotechnology startup that's making waves in Chicagoland.

Please remember that while this is not the Fermenter itself, we want to keep the inclusive nature of the Fermenter. Accordingly, this event is open to everyone, and the organizers strongly believe that working in our biotechnology future should be accessible to all Chicagoans, regardless of race, gender expression, sexual identity, national origin, or any other protected class. The Biotech Fermenter is a space for open and friendly sharing of ideas, and we are all responsible for ensuring everyone feels safe and respected. We are committed to hosting inclusive events, and will not tolerate any actions or attitudes contrary to our deeply held beliefs in inclusivity. By attending this event, you are agreeing to uphold this standard and acknowledge that the organizers reserve the right to restrict attendance.
If you have any concerns about another person's behavior, you may file a report via email with the organizers Andy Scarpelli ([email protected] ) and Ryan Brown ([email protected]). We are committed to ensuring that the Biotech Fermenter is a safe space for all, and will take precautionary measures or responsive actions to uphold these ideals.
