This intensive biomedical entrepreneurship course is designed to bridge the gap between biomedical researchers and the mainstream customer by providing a practical understanding of what is required to bring products to the marketplace and the roadmap to get there.  This course is free for selected applicants. 

This is an intensive team-based course that requires a commitment to full participation in order for us to maintain a collaborative and supportive learning environment.  At the kickoff meeting, we will get to meet each other and discuss the technologies that participants would like to develop in the course.  We will organize into teams around the selected technologies.  While participants will be divided into teams, we all work together to build strong pitch decks for the technologies selected as these are our "live" case studies.
