Supportresearch on significant problems and questions facing the industry. Provide a forum allowing companies and other corporate partners to connect with interested students. Create significant networking opportunities for students, faculty, companies and friends to connect in order to strengthen Indiana’s life science industry. CBLS Goals
MBA Program in the Business of Life Sciences An Executive Certificate in the Business of Life Sciences for professionals already working in the industry CBLS Programs
Two 1.5 credit hour courses, offered once each year: X519 Life Sciences Industry from Research to Patient X518 Life Science Global Events and Trends Courses are special for three reasons: 1) Each session features 2-3 guest lecturers, providing students significant industry networking opportunities 2) Student teams work with the IU Research & Technology Corp to develop commercialization plans for a recent discovery/invention coming from IU labs or the IUSM 3) Students from other parts of IU (e.g., Optometry, Arts and Sciences, Law, Informatics, Medicine) can take the courses and are assigned to project teams with MBA students. Team members obtain “real world” experience dealing cross-functionally. Business of Life Sciences Courses
