Learn the business of biotechnology, how to start and manage biotechnology companies, and how to better service the needs of biotechnology companies.

Going beyond simple 'science for non-scientists' or 'mini MBA' offerings, this course describes the convergence of scientific, political, regulatory, and commercial factors that drive the biotechnology industry and define its scope.

Topics covered include:

• The development of biotechnology

• An accessible introduction to the science of biotechnology

• Drug development

• Laws, Regulations, and Policy

• Intellectual Property

• Patents

• The Business of Biotechnology

• Finance

• Marketing

• Management

This course is based on the leading business-of-biotechnology text, "Building Biotechnology," which has been adopted by more than 50 schools, and is taught by Yali Friedman, Ph.D., publisher of the Journal of Commercial Biotechnology and a former instructor of biotechnology management at the National Institutes of Health.

I hope you enjoy this course as much as I did putting it together.
