Joined Bio Joins the Science Exchange Platform to Offer Biospecimens for Research, Leveraging Recent Acquisition
BOSTON, MA — June 5, 2025 — Joined Bio, an online marketplace that connects patients and their health data to life science researchers, today announced it joined the Science Exchange platform, a leading marketplace for outsourced R&D services. Through this collaboration, Joined Bio will offer high-quality, ethically-sourced biospecimens via the Science Exchange platform, expanding access to essential research materials for life science researchers worldwide.
This integration is supported by Joined Bio's recent acquisition of BioSample Connect, which enhanced the company's capabilities in biospecimen procurement and healthcare provider relationships. The relationship with Science Exchange represents a key step in Joined Bio's strategy to build comprehensive distribution channels for biospecimens while developing its end-to-end patient-researcher marketplace.
"Partnering with Science Exchange allows us to immediately extend our reach to more researchers who need high-quality biospecimens," said Jill Mullan, Co-CEO of Joined Bio. "Our recent acquisition has strengthened our ability to source specimens through healthcare providers, and Science Exchange provides an ideal platform to connect these valuable samples with researchers who can use them to advance medical science."
Researchers on the Science Exchange platform will gain access to biospecimens sourced through Joined Bio's network, with the ability to specify detailed inclusion and exclusion criteria. The company plans to introduce direct-to-patient biospecimen collection services through the Science Exchange platform later this year, further expanding the diversity and specificity of available samples.
"While we're beginning with healthcare provider-sourced specimens, we're looking forward to expanding our Science Exchange offering later this year to include direct-to-patient collection services," added Chris Ianelli, Co-CEO of Joined Bio. "This approach allows us to deliver immediate value to researchers while building toward our complete vision of a patient-centered research marketplace."
