ENGLEWOOD, CO (February 12, 2009) – BioSpace, the world’s leading life science career network and an onTargetjobs company, announced today that it will produce and manage the 2009 BIO Career Fair. This year, the BIO Career Fair, powered by BioSpace, will be held on May 18, in conjunction with the 2009 BIO International Convention from May 18-21 in Atlanta.
