Established in 2007 by Drs. Sam and Leslie Lynch, Tennessee's BioTN Foundation changes lives through science in three ways: We help Tennesseans Learn and love science, we Grow our workforce, and we help science entrepreneurs Build our local science community through new business development.
We are a non-profit 501c3 foundation formed to facilitate and inspire Tennessee children and adults to explore the sciences, promoting science research, enabling the next, diverse crop of science worldchangers, and pushing the limits of what science is capable of.
Our primary current efforts are focused around:
1. Partnering with STEM Prep Academy to build our future science community
2. Growing our workforce through a series of educational and functional training
3. Closing the science ecosphere loop by providing a platform for entrepreneurial scientific growth that builds jobs for our future scientists
