Those
aspiring to become leaders in biotechnology must understand
the interplay of technology, innovation, finance, management,
regulatory and public issues that define the life science
industry.
The biotech
management program, supported by the Kellogg Center for Biotechnology,
offers a balance of hands-on experience through projects with
top biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical device companies,
as well as traditional classroom learning with Kellogg faculty
and industry executives. Courses provide the tools, frameworks
and practical experience needed to become leaders in the biotechnology,
pharmaceutical and medical device industry, such as marketing
of biomedical products, marketing of technology, valuations,
intellectual property management, strategic alliances, venture
capital, and effective management of commercialization, regulatory
and public issues. The program is complemented by extracurricular
activities such as weekly science basics sessions, cutting-edge
biomedical “boot camps,” and workshops on innovative
leadership for the biomedical industry.
The Biotechnology
major provides a strong and broad foundation to excel in a
broad range of leadership positions in the life science industry,
including business development, marketing, product development,
corporate development, consulting, banking and venture capital. |
