#Opentobio

In recent years, the UK biotech sector has experienced sharp fluctuations. Promising companies have faced funding shortages, investment cycles have tightened, and many organisations have been forced to restructure or scale back despite strong scientific progress. As a result, highly capable people across research, operations, commercial roles, and wider support functions have found themselves suddenly redundant – not because of performance, but because the market has become increasingly unpredictable.

#Opentobio is a not-for-profit platform project created to respond to that reality. It is run by volunteers and there are no fees associated.

We connect individuals who have recently been made redundant with biotechnology companies across the UK that are actively seeking skilled, motivated people. If you choose to share your details, we make them visible to employers who have registered to increase your likelihood of finding work.

Our aim is simple: to restore connection, visibility, and opportunity at a time when it matters most. Redundancy does not diminish your talent or your potential. This is a place where you can be seen, supported, and matched with companies looking for people just like you.

Your next role could start here.
