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

The first virtual Health Security Innovation Showcase is being held on October 18 from 12 pm – 5 pm EDT to learn about high impact life science startups being supported by BARDA partners, including, CARB-X, the BARDA Accelerator Network, and the BARDA-J&J Blue Knight program. These companies are developing platform technologies in a variety of technology areas, including diagnostic tools, therapeutics/vaccines, advanced manufacturing, and clinical trial support.

Highlights of the event:

- A Keynote address by Dr. Gary Disbrow, Director of BARDA
- 5-minute pitches by each company, followed by 3 minutes of Q&A
- Overviews of BARDA programs supporting innovation in the health security space
- Opportunities for you to set up one-on-one partnering meetings with the presenting companies

The event platform will contain company profiles, pitch decks and live calendars to be used to facilitate and set up meetings. Once registered, additional details will be provided on how to access and view the details of the participating companies.
