The Center for Biotechnology is pleased to announce the launch of The Fundamentals of the Bioscience Industry Certificate Program. This program seeks to provide life scientists with a comprehensive understanding of the bioscience business environment to better enter the industry and/or government sector more effectively and to successfully contribute to the innovation and entrepreneurial aspects of industry. Developed by the Center for Biotechnology, this industry driven and industry focused program gives the broad exposure needed for success in the bioscience industries. Strongly interdisciplinary, this innovative and cutting edge non-credit 4-module certificate program draws its faculty and courses directly from the bioscience industry, and is complimented by the participation of New York's world class academic and research institutions.
This program is targeted at graduate students seeking to transition into non-academic industry careers and current employees of life sciences companies. Graduate students and post docs that complete the program will be better prepared to compete in the job market, while incumbent employees will have the understanding necessary to contribute more effectively to corporate goals.
