Anyone can access a recent article, for example, describing a new drug delivery technology that utilizes polymers to encapsulate and deliver drugs over the course of more than a month.
The site, www.thebiotechclub.org, also links to an affiliate club at the University of Glasgow.
The club's funding, which allows it to maintain an extensive website off of Harvard's servers and bring prominent speakers to campus, is funded mainly by its corporate sponsors, who can choose from various tiers of investment ranging from $500 to $10,000.
"We pool all the sponsorship money to pay for all our events and website administration, so that each sponsor is effectively contributing to the overall operation of the Club," Seth and Labonte write in an e-mail message. "That way, we avoid any conflict of interest, since the money from one sponsor is not tied to any one event."
In return for their sponsorship, about 20 companies, such as Biospace.com, Biogen and Digizyme, receive exposure on the club's website and access to the club's internal resume database, depending on the level of sponsorship.
While the organization has a prominent presence in the GSAS, Seth and Labonte write that it has very few undergraduate members.
"The organization is absolutely open to undergraduate enrollment," they write. "We'd like to encourage undergraduate involvement."
