The Business of Biotechnology

(0.5 ceu)

An elective in the Professional Sequence in Biotechnology Business and Marketing

Gain an understanding of the biotechnology industry—what makes it so compelling and what makes it one of the riskiest sectors for investors. Study the career paths of some of the innovative entrepreneurs who created the industry back in the late 1970s. Learn about the risks they took and how the value they generated surpassed even that of dot-com successes. You also get a guided tour of the mysteries of the drug development process and the convoluted funding trail, from venture capital through that all-important initial public offering (IPO).
