U29 Bio 4561Introduction to the Biotech Business3.0 Units
Description:The course will provide an introduction into the world of commercializing biotech innovations. In the U.S., most discovery research originates at the university level and is transferred, via licensing agreements, to industry partners or to start-up biotech companies for final development and commercialization. The process of moving this innovation from the lab to industry and then to the patient is a focus of this course. The course will be offered in two sections, the first providing insights into the socio-economic environment that fostered the biotech revolution and the key drivers that influence decisions on what research to commercialize. The primary focus is on medical biotech but agricultural biotech is also examined. The second section deals with biotech entrepreneurship and investigates issues and choices that inventors / scientists encounter when they are considering the applications and commercialization of early stage scientific discoveries. In addition to studying the complex relationship between science and business, the course employs a case study methodology to illustrate specific examples of the translational process from lab to marketed product. Preparation for classes will be done individually with all students completing readings prior to each class. Each student should be prepared contribute to the class discussion and to lead the class discussion of the assigned reading materials, if called upon to do so. A team-based feasibility study, with a team presentation at the end of the semester is integral to the course.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
