DC Biotech is an informal networking group in the DC area. A discussion forum is hosted on LinkedIn, and regular happy hours are held in the DC area.
I recently gave a talk on educating the next generation of biotechnology managers and founders at a biotechnology education workshop. My sense is that the traditional education paths are not ideal ways to prepare individuals to manage or start biotechnology companies, and I describe cases from Best Practices in Biotechnology Education and courses I have been involved with to illustrate how educational programs can better prepare students for these roles.
I’ve attached a copy of my presentation below.
