Fundamentals of the Bioscience Industry
The Fundamentals of the Bioscience Industry Program is an innovative, one semester, evening program designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the Bioscience Industry from target identification through commercial application. This program is targeted toward graduate students and postdocs seeking to facilitate commercial activities within their academic labs or enhance their knowledge of the commercial sector in order to transition into non-academic careers.
Created by the Center for Biotechnology, this highly interactive program gives participants the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in the development of commercialization strategies around real intellectual property and business issues.
Benefits of the program include:
- Increased marketability for participants by expanding their education beyond the typical classroom
- Practical, hands on work with technologies to advance an invention through to commercialization
- Connections made with industry leaders through on going classroom interaction
- Access to a network of over 300 program alumni providing career opportunities, mentoring, professional development and social interaction
Program applications are typically due each November for the Spring course.
