Entrepreneurship in Biotechnology

2 credits · Graduate

This course will provide students an introduction to the complexities and unique problems of starting a life sciences company. It is designed for both entrepreneurs and students who may someday work in a biotechnology or medical device startup. Students will be exposed to the topics most critical for successfully founding, financing, and operating a life science company, and will be expected to perform many of the same tasks that founders would normally undertake. Discussions with life-science entrepreneurs, case studies of recent companies, and hands-on work developing entrepreneurial endeavors will all be utilized.
