Our Story
Bio-Link Depot has become a gathering place where teachers meet, pick up equipment and supplies, and also donate their time and ideas. The Depot has distributed over $5 million worth of equipment and materials to over 100 schools, positively impacting over 32,000 students each year.
Bio-Link Depot, Inc. is a non-profit 501c3 organization formed in 2015. From 2002 to 2015 City College of San Francisco operated the Depot under Bio-Link, a national organization that enhances biotechnology education through professional development and sharing of information with educators, students, and industry.
