Fundamentals of the Bioscience Industry Program – Application Open!

Applications for the Center for Biotechnology’s Fundamentals of the Bioscience Industry Program are open!

This innovative, one semester, evening program provides participants with the skills and knowledge they need to transition out of the academic lab into a professional position in the bioscience industry and an overall introduction to the technology commercialization process.  The program is taught by industry professionals through lectures and interactive team projects. Students gain first-hand experience in the development of commercialization strategies around real intellectual property and business issues. This experiential learning process will shed light onto the expanded number of business roles to which scientific skills can be applied.

Created by the Center for Biotechnology, this program is targeted towards 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.  To learn more about the program and its opportunities visit: www.fobip.org.

2021 PROGRAM EARLY APPLICATION DEADLINE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23 2020
