  The Fundamentals of the Bioscience Industry program provides life scientists with a comprehensive introduction to the bioscience business environment. This includes evolving business models, product development cycles, regulatory issues, finance, managerial challenges and future trends in the life sciences. Participants also develop commercialization strategies/reports around real intellectual property and business issues.

The program exposes current life sciences graduate students, post-docs, and industry professionals to a broad range of career opportunities within the bioscience industry, and how to utilize this the core competencies taught in the program to advance their own careers.
 

Benefits

Graduates will:

  • Understand the process by which a technology becomes a product
  • Work hands on with technologies to advance an invention
  • Gain insight into the factors that influence corporate decision making
  • Increased marketability for participants by expanding their education beyond the typical classroom

Evaluation

Critical Path to Commercialization Project

Program attendees will be responsible for participating in a semester long group project culminating in a Critical Path to Commercialization (CPC) report and presentation at the end of the program. Students will work on real life projects to help advance the value of the invention. This CPC report, a final investor-style presentation and class participation will be the basis for evaluation. Students who complete all sessions will be awarded a Certificate of Completion by the Center for Biotechnology.

"To be competitive in industry, biosciences graduates must understand the intricate process of translating basic research into innovative, market driven products. Further, these graduates must be able to navigate the complex pathways of intellectual property management and the regulatory affairs of agencies such as the FDA. There is a critical need for programs that encourage life sciences students to integrate industry-relevant training and experience with their basic science education."
