This course will challenge you to think about the nature of research when driven by commercial outcomes. Future recruitment opportunities may involve roles in bio-business development rather than exclusively research at the bench. This course hopes to place you at a competitive advantage when seeking such career paths. In the biotechnology arena the commercial process of drug discovery and development costs significant sums but the risks of failure are also very high. You will gain insight into the way this risk and cost is managed against the very large potential revenues that could be generated from a successful drug pipeline.
