BioBasics 101: The Biology of Biotech for the Non-Scientist is an intensive two-day course on the foundational science that forms the backbone of biopharma. We explore the connection between the basic biology and industry applications including personalized medicine, comparative genomics, and companion diagnostics. This course was designed for the non-scientist who wants to better understand how basic biology informs the development of biopharma products.
Anyone who works on the “business-side” who needs to better understand and communicate with the “science-side” including those in finance, law, marketing, business development, project management, policy, government relations, IT, supply chain, human resources, administrative support, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, reporters, and manufacturing.
- Fluency in the essential terminology of the biopharma industry.
- Understanding of the science driving your company or client’s products.
- Improved ability to communicate with colleagues and stakeholders.
- Determination of where your organization “fits” in the health care landscape.
- Explanation of innovative therapies within the biopharma industry.
